CGX car nut:

Struggle to understand why Maserati wants this vehicle in its portfolio given its previous attempts at halo product over the past couple of decades.  The brand should focus on the overaged offerings in its current product mix instead of diverting badly needed capital into this car.  

It's very simple. The previous attempts at a halo were all under Ferrari ownership when no Maserati was allowed to ever get near a Ferrari. Much like Cayman's aren't allowed to tread on 911 toes.

Now the gloves are off and they can stick it to Ferrari :)  And who says Stellantis badly need capital? I don't think so.
