    Looks like a sad photoshop... If you look hard enough, the tail light and part of the back of it look like a SLK350... Ewww

    Yep, that's pretty much what I was thinking.

    I wish I had a scanner, but in the March 05 "AUTO" (an Italian car magazine) there is that picture plus one from the rear. So it is rather reliable picture and from the back it looks nothing like the SLK. Hope the pictures are on line soon. I think it looks pretty sharp.

    Everything except the front reminds me of the SL500.

    I have to say I'm very concerned about Maserati's future now that they've been split from Ferrari and saddled with Alfa. Ferrari was lefting them up, but they didn't get to finish the job, so with only a half established product line, I think Alfa will drag them down.

    thanks for the pic, but i agree it is a sad photochop.

    does not, i repeat, does not go in line with the Pininfarina or in-house Frank Stephenson designs at all.

    From all that I read in my Auto magazine - those pictures are real and the roof does fold back like a mercedes or SC 430.
    Also they claim HP to be 400.
    my 2 cents

    Would hope they would give it more than 400HP, Car will be heavier due to the hard top so would actually be slower than current cars. The articles I have read show it anywhere from 450-470HP. My big concern is will they offer a GT?

    What a sweet looking car... so much better looking than the current one (and I like the current car).

    Can't wait to see the coupe version. the lines should be about the same.

    I believe if a sports car comes with the folding hard top....that a coupe is not a necessity?

    As long as the rear seats are there... I need them for my kids. That is the whole appeal, for me, for the coupe...
