"Biturbo" is, of course, Italian for "expensive junk." At least, it is
now, after Maserati tried to pass off this bitter heartbreak-on-wheels
as a proper grand touring sedan. The Biturbo was the product of a
desperate, under-funded company circling the drain of bankruptcy, and it
shows. Everything that could leak, burn, snap or rupture did so with
the regularity of the Anvil Chorus. The collected service advisories
would look like the Gutenberg Bible. The only greater ignominy was the
early 1990s Maserati TC, a version of the Chrysler Le Baron (a flaccid,
front-drive, four-cylinder loser-mobile) with the proud Mazzer Trident
on the nose. Finally, sir, have you no shame?
