    The course was held on an airfield in Samedan near St. Moritz and this event was organised by Maserati Switzerland and Verkehrssicherheitszentrum Veltheim.
    The Gransport is indeed a beautiful car. I also like my Cadillac though. Last weekend I used it to get to the salon in Geneva and it was a very comfortable journey :)

    Hi Markus,
    I'd be interested in knowing if you have tested the Maser QP, and if so, what did you think of it compared to one of the USA's standard examples of a luxury car, the Caddy. Personally, I sat in a Los Angeles Auto Show QP, and felt like a king - - and I wasn't moving!!! Have you had the opportunity to "move"??
    Cheers, Hank

    Hi Hank

    Yes, we had the choice of all current models. For a few exercises I used the Quattroporte. Compared to my Cadillac STS it's certainly the sportier car. Also the sound of the engine is better. The handling of the QP is better because of the stiffer suspension. And last but not least I really like the italian design. Both interior and exterior are really appealing to me. I really like my Cadillac but would I have to buy another sedan the QP would be my favorite.

    Cheers
    Markus

    That last picture is a true classic. . . . Reminds me of my time spent in Chicago.
