Maserati

As I was coming out of my neighborhood and heading down the street I see this....

What a sick car!

It's a Maserati Quattroporte

I saw one outside a restaurant on 6th Avenue in the Village, I think it is a very interesting car. I love the back because it has a similar stance and look to the Spyder coupe but I dunno if that front is so great, it looks like it doesn't belong on that car.

I saw one as well. It was about 2 weeks ago when I was riding my bicycle on the way back from school. I first heard the sound of the engine before I realized that it was Maserati Quattroporte!! The exhaust note is friggin awesome!!!

Cool...It wouldn't make my dream car list, but it looks alright

I bet it's pretty damn rare though, which makes it somewhat more attractive.

Its to go against the 7 series, S-Class, L430. I would choose this for sure becasue the others don't have near the style of this. Remember, this company is run by Ferrrai

...and use Ferrari based engines

I have seen one every day for the past four days at my work parking lot it is bright yellow with chrome 20"-22" wheels. It replaces a yellow ferrari modena. Sometimes he drives his daughter's convertible hard-top lexus coupe or if he is in the mood, he'll borrow his wife's ragtop aston-martin. I think the ferrari was d'bomb. The maserati looks like a chopped impala... BTW, wasn't maseratti owned by chrysler...?

I want one of those as soon as I get my Bentley GT and an SLR Mclaren.

Can't forget about the Ferrari either

Seriously that Maserati is S-E-X-Y

I'm not the hugest fan of the design, despite having mulled it over in a conversation with the designer (same guy who did the Enzo, Ken Okuyama). It is a very striking car and I think it has its own appeal, but for my money, I'd look to something else.

Gotta drive one to know.

Ferrari engine + Italian styling + reasonably ergonomic + fun to drive and luxurious for about $90,000 bucks

Its pretty well rounded.

Kind of surprised that this car isn't that expensive... looks pretty good, inside and outside. It's the better choice than its mother company's vehicles.
