Actually I checked the car few days ago in Maserati dealership.
Yes the car looks good, probably performs good but ... the car is a joke!
Once I set inside it hit me: "Oh yeah this car is Italian of course!"
Plastic used is a la Ford Focus, wood doesn't feel supreme like it should. Actually the worst parts of the interior are the parts where wood meets the dash. There are some weird gaps and it feels loose. Everything that is made of plastic or wood feels loose from switches, air vents to center console. As the icing on the cake, third brake light dips in somehow and looks unleveled from outside.
But that is your typical Italian car. No matter if it's Fiat Panda, Quattroporte or F360 they are all built the same.
Absolutely no reason to buy this over S500, A8L hell yeah even Phaeton.
I was disappointed with the car but I didn't have any high expectations either

I have mixed feelings about the car. I love certain aspects of the car, but others leave me guessing what they were doing. I love the power plant, tranny, and the 4 Calipers up front(WOW), but the interior could be a little bit better I think. I build a few of them on the Maserati website for fun, and it came out quite attractive. This is one exclusive sedan at a price a lot less than competitors. I would take one in a heartbeat, and I think Tyson Beckford would too. Here is his Quattroporte I saw last year at the Terror Squad Celebrity Car Show.

This car looks INCREDIBLE!! You have to see it in person though.........The entire design is just amazing as well as the attention to detail.
Based on styling, exclusivity and performance #s it blows away the S500, LS430, 745, A8, etc. In terms of value, pure luxury, and the latest techno features its below the other cars though.
If i had 100k to spend on a big luxury sedan this would definitely be my choice.

When I first saw the pictures of the Quattroporte,I thought it looked ugly,but I spotted one in person about a week ago and man does this thing have a presense. It was black one with 22" black wheels.... it soooo was sinister looking.
