Kev946 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Went to the local Maserati dealers last week to see the launch. Absolutely georgeous in the flesh and a vast improvement of the previous model. The salesman says it will retail from £78k, but expect to pay £82k with some essential extras.

The average age of the people who like it is probably about 46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl114 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I hate it, id prefer an Aston for that money. There may be more of them, but so much nicer. Either that or a Sagaris and the rest of the money in the bank for when it breaks down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 My Z is yellow and Im sophisticated! Honest. I do like the Masserati, but theres something just not quite right about the back end in my opinion. Perhaps the whole thing is too much like the Aston V8, which just does that shape a whole lot better. Clearly they are nice cars in their own right, but theres just something not quite right.

vestitas Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Saw it in the flesh at Goodwood festival of speed the other week and was distinctly unimpressed. The original concept pictures looked gorgeous but wasn't keen on the production. Also, bear in mind that in typical Maserati fashion you'll be able to pick one up for 5 bob a packet of crisps and a piece of string in 12 months time.

Trev-the-Rev Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Have to agree that their residual values are through the floor, and iirc their reliability record isn't that good either. Still look and sound though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev946 Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 I like the old one TBH although looking a bit dated. I test drove one and go nearly bought one, then had a flush of common sense and went to the BMW dealers. The SMG isn't to everybodies liking and it didn;t drive as well as the Bimmer, but expect the new one to be much much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
