    why it looks like jaguar coupe? Can they introduce the car with the right color combo? This car should be dark.

    I change my mind on the looks - the front looks like a Nissan and the rear looks like a Hyundai Tiburon IMO.

    Absolutely agree. Darker colours should fit the car better.

    Silver with cheap-looking (at least in the pics) red leather is the worst colour combination they could choose for their car presentation.

    I think this car has just too many curves. Look at the front and rear fenders, too bulky IMO.

    Looks like im the only one here that thinks its good looking...

    Have to say that it does look a bit narrow and the curves on the front fenders are a bit much, but its still a very attractive car IMO

    Hey, you are not alone! The looks has began to grow on me already.

    IMO, the front resembles the 599GTB....very poised.

    I remember many moons ago when the majority criticised the CF grille on the F430, I was not discouraged by the negativity and continued to included it in my list of options. Today, the tide has favored those who were brave to stand out and be different.
    Cheers

    Completely agree! Even though I don't see a beautiful car above, I see tons of potential for one. The red could work, as it seems the camera is making it appear lighter than it really is. That said I still don't favor the light red colors in a car, at least not a car as "classy" as a Masarati . A darker colored exterior and a black/tan / black/cuio interior would make it a much more appealing car IMO

    Count me in as well, though with some and to Masarati for their color choice of their press model

    the Maser looks fantastic! for all doubters, i'm sure its, as with many modern cars, its better in metal than on a pic!

    I don't think it's low, you have to remember this car weighs about 1900kg.
