Re: Maserati
Hi,
i don't think the car is competitive ... i liked the "Kubang"-Study better .. it was extraordinary ... espacially the interior.

Re: Maserati
the question is: competitive to what?
of course it won't be the new S class for fleet buyers
but as an elegant and sporty limousine for individualists, it's quite on it's own. if they manager to get the quality OK and the residuals far from poor, this one could be a long term winner for maser.
personally, this would by limousine of choice.

Quality is a major point, that's for sure.
But don't you think, that the price is equally important? I remember back in 199.. something, when Maserati presented the 3200 GT. The car was as quick as a Carrera, but much cheaper when equipped identically. Of course quality seemed not to be at the same level.
Meanwhile with the 4200 GT, I can't see much difference in the price.
Same problem with the Quattroporte: price is rumoured to be between 90.000 Euro and 115.000 Euro. For that I will a get a MB S 55 AMG or a BMW 760i or an Alpina B7, all with more power than the Maserati.

Problem with Maseratis is their resale value.
that's why i wrote that poor residuals have to be avoided.
but when i think of other luxus sedans... they suffer from a very high depreciation as well. drive a big 430 lexus or a BMW 7 series out of the showroom and it's only worth half the MSRP
