Nice looking car. I personally would rather spend my money on something else.

Maybe not to you, but to him, it is...it's all about context. Be happy for him and his ugly-car-owning neighbor. Tonight on my way home (about 1 mile from the Galleria in Houston), I saw 2 Ferraris, a Gallardo (that damn near hit me), and an Esprit that seemed to be wonderfully kept. That's no big deal to me because of where I live and the fact that there are 3 exotic car rental places between me and the mall, but I remember when just seeing a car like a Mas would make my week...

Actually, an original Datsun 240Z looks similar, but better than the Maserati.

I see exotics every day from our filthy rich tax clients. I think I've seen all the color shades for Gallardo now.

But you see...I live in Brooklyn where all the ghetto people are. These cars are very rare around where I live, though a lot of people drive G35s and TLs here.

nice, I see those cars pretty often here in Jersey. Probably once a week, and probably the same driver who lives around my neighborhood.

Hmm that's odd. Usually in the ghetto areas, they have the nicest cars so Im not surprised.

On a side note, I see those on a daily basis.

Agreed. There are 2 of them in my apartment parking garage where I live. Nothing exciting at all.

I personally think this is a cooler picture of a car on the street. I took it because I found it funny it was parallel parked:

Its all a matter of where you live. In charleston there aren't that many exotics riding around. the only guys that own them keep them in the garage except for shows. most of them don't even see weekend driving. I've never seen a maserati. Only exotics around here are an assload of ferrari's that never see the light of day, a couple lambos, and a couple astons.

I see more Bentley Continental GT's than any Maserati around my area too. And we're not considered rich by any means.

Not for nothing, but I think you should open your eyes more often. I don't know where you live in Brooklyn but I see nice cars all the time in my neighborhood and even around the borough in other areas. Not everyone in Brooklyn is ghetto - comments like that make other people give it a bad name.

I saw a nice blue Bentley parked in the Wegmans parking lot today. Damn, if I had that car, I certainly would not have parked it up close to the door like it was!

I don't know of a Maserati dealer in Austin, but there are plenty of 'em on our roads. Fwiw, I think the Quatroporte looks better than this car.

The regular coupe is very bland, the Gransport is much more aggressive looking.
