My neighbor has it. I love the look of it (although it is a love-it-ot-hate-it design).
I don't, & without the badge it doesn't even look like a luxury car to me until you get real close & see the inside, then you can tell maybe it's not a non-luxury model . . .

I won't choose it over any in the same class with the possible exception of the Jaguar XJ & the Phaeton .
I concur. As a driver, the BMW and the Mercedes seem like cars where you would rather be in the back seat than the front seat. In the Maserati, the front seat is the place to be. Must be the "Italian-ness" of the car. I won't pay $100,000 to drive a car and feel like a chauffeur!
Also interesting is the upcoming Maserati Gran Turismo. I remember reading an article where people would think that it was worth a lot more than it actually was. People were thinking that it was Ferrari/Aston Martin money when it actually is just Jaguar money. That is clever marketing.
The current Maserati line up seems to be the counterbalance to Ferrari's success.
Things are so bad that Ernie Boch Jr (who owns the only F and M franchise in MA0 advertises the 2006 Qporte (maybe a leftover)for about $27K under sticker.
I do think the next gen cars will be a whole lot better and the cousin, Alfa 8C will score big.

The 8C going to be expensive. I hear no one *****ing about how Alfa Romeo going to have a car over 150,000 euros, yet people are like wtf a $150,000+ Lexus supercar.
People don't care how much the 8C going to cost because its italian and Ferrari helped out. If its a japanese supercar people can't understand why it will cost so much or says **** about it if it happens too have way too much technology.
