Very little of what Cadillac does these days makes any sense.  

At least the old QPs had gorgeous interiors.  The interiors in the current lineup of Maserati are complete trash.  The brand is an insult at this point.  

Exactly -- these things drive like crap.  Their straight-line performance numbers are worse than comparable German cars.  And, unlike the Germans, they can’t hide that weight.  Modern Maseratis feel heavy and sloppy.  

Maserati interiors used to be awesome -- until they decided to go mass market.  Now, they’re cheap crap.  

This pretty much sums up Maserati in a paragraph.

Idiot.

That’s not at all what the decision says. The problem is that Aaron Gordon just did a really shitty job of reporting.

Divide $70k by $300 per hour, which is what an experienced attorney could charge. That’s about 233 hours.

Lehto is wrong and self-serving.

There was an alternative pleading of negligence.  That’s why the $40k still stands.  

The reason that the lawyer you spoke to for this article takes this position is because Steve Lehto is an attorney in Michigan who handles these kind of cases.
