Lots of adverts for the Ghibli at the moment. I always look at the emissions range on adverts as I object to paying high car tax. Anyway, the S is down to 223g whereas before it was about 20g higher so it's now about half the previous car tax albeit it will all change again with the new rules in a year's time. The standard petrol is down about 10% too. Must be stop/start or something.
Ghibli emissions down

They maybe bought a load of 2nd hand gizmos from VW?
Possibly but perhaps the reductions would have been greater?

They're probably just making it up like the rest of them.

Superb! I think you could be correct.
What's good about all of this is that it shows you can get relatively low emission 6 cylinder petrol engines. I still can't understand how the market as a whole buys into premium cars with diesel engines, they sound bad outside, inside the same or just nothingness if they are insulated to high heaven, you feel the vibration through the steering wheel, they don't work well with manual gearboxes and they still put **** out the back. The return to petrol should be the only good news to come out of the VW trip up but what does Maserati do? it arrives at the diesel party late and can't even be bothered to slap two turbos on the engine.

Have they started using ad blue on the diesel variants?
Seems to be more common now, I know Audi use it on 2.0TDi and 3.0tdi

Yep it was the cheat they all used to get Euro 6. I believe Maserati moved to it last summer.

Had an Infinity last week as my company car...when I collected it Enterprise had no idea what the AdBlue tank was in the boot...one said it was the screenwash. Given it was the first Infinity they had received on fleet and it had 9miles on the clocks I was not worried or suprised...I was however surprised how unrefined it felt even with a 9 speed auto.
MPG was good, just £10.67 from London to Bristol in fuel.
