    I have done it again... just bot the Gransport yesterday. Delivery next week.

    To think that when I woke up yesterday I had no idea I was going to buy the car. I went to the Ferrari dealership to solve a fan problem on my 355...next thing I knew I signed.

    Photos to follow next week.

    I don't know how to answer your question...I haven't test driven the car.

    I have been eyeing the GS over the last 2 mths. I have owned two Maserati Coupes so I have an "idea"how it'll drive. Thats all - "an idea". I bought it based on reports and the fact that its a better handling car than the coupe.
    The dealership in Singapore doesn't have a test car.
    I walked into the showroom from the workshop... 1. Saw it 2.Started the engine. 3. swtiched off engine 4. negotiated price 5. Left the dealership 6. called wife to inform her 7. SIGNED. Easy 7 steps.

    Singapore has been allocated 4 Gransports... this is the 3rd, Fuji White/Blue interior .. its my color of choice.

    No Test Drive.

    What can I say?
    Will let u know when I actually drive it...WEDNESDAY!

    I test drove one last week. The car was fun to drive, but definitely different than my 360. The styling is beautiful. The dealer I went to in L.A. is only discounting about 2k off sticker. Congratulations on the purchase.

    Its in my hands!!!! Drove it back from the dealership and pulled a neck muscle..hahaha coz I was too tense...hahaha.

    Its a lovely car. I had previously owned the coupe which I loved...this I will love more. The gear changes are FAST. Not as jerky as before. The suspension is great, it corners much better than the coupe. It does not squart as much on take off as the coupe. The steering is very direct and true. Just point and squirt!

    Will load the photos tom.

    ABSOLUTEY BEAUTIFUL!! I saw the blue interior for the first time in person last night at a local auto show. Its not a shocking as I thought it would be. I may like it more than my black and gray combo on my GranSport.

    Congrats on joining me on the secret. Once you drive it your sold.

    Beautiful car, I never thought I would like a white car but the pictures I have seen recently of the GS in white has changed that. Your even getting a thumbs up from that chef behind car in that first pic. Good luck with it and am sure you will have a blast driving her

    Your GS looks amazing!!! It is such a beautifully evolved design. I am seriously thinking about trading my M5 for one.
