[DeTomaso] NPC: Maserati Kyalami - Rebadged/Repowered Longchamp?

[MARK CHARLTON]

I will come off as biased here, but I MUCH prefer the styling of the Longchamp, and definitely am happier to be maintaining a Cleveland in mine vs. a Maser V8. I’ve never driven a Kyalami, but I think the 5-speed with a Cleveland REALLY suits the Longchamp.
