    I was at FoW today and I think I actually saw this car driving out of the dealership; it looked great on the road. They had another in the dealership that I got to take a better look at, and the car looks even better in preson than in pictures!

    I just noticed the intricate design of those alloy wheels on the car in the picture.
    There are 12 spokes but 3 sets of what look like Maserati Tridents.
    Am I imagining too much into the shape of those wheels to see a Trident shape in them?!

    That is indeed a very nice car! Almost remind me of a aston martin from the rear though.

    I was first on the list but moved my deposit for the Maranello.

    I still stand by my decision of the 575 over this car for my daily.

    I would have to agree with you Ron, there are tridents inside the wheel design. Good catch!! The style of the car is growing on me, at first I didn't like the front at all. The grill was just to much, still kind of looks like a bass mouth.

    I saw the one they have at FOD and was blown away. Great looking car. Maserati got this one right IMO.

    I went by FOW and test drove it. It's a beautiful car with a fantastic interior. It's just a bit underpowered. Very nice!

    Hmmm... is it that it's underpowered or just not tuned to deliver optimum output? Also how much weight is it pushing around? 4000+ lbs? Gotta think that Ferrari doesn't want Maserati stealing any thunder from it's own GTs... new or slightly used....

    You are correct! It has the same hp as the 360 but weighs almost 1000 pounds more.
