You obviously haven't been around long enough to remember the genuine Maseratis. If you have never seen one you liked, I'll bet you've never seen a Bora. IMO one of the most beautiful cars ever built.

I wouldn't call it beautiful- but VERY adventurous nonetheless!!!!

great body

When Maserati was Maserati, the cars were hot. But when Chrysler took over and started slapping the trident badge on the Le baron. Thank God Ferrari bought them and turned them back into respectable cars.

Re: Maserati who?

Maserati cars are really nice and inexpensive: I saw a 86 Biturbos (carb.) for less than $5000! But I m bit afraid of the reliability!
Does people have one here? Is it really unrealiable?

Re: Maserati who?

yes they are that unreliable, but it'll make you fall in love with it anyway

Maserati's are quite cheap for being a psudo-Ferrari. I was at Ferrari/Maserati of Southern California (LA). There were 3 or 4 Maserati's in the showroom. I've seen only 2 around here (Minneapolis). But some guy who lives near me has a Coupe (I think thats the name). I saw it at the grocery store one day. Later that summer, I saw a Ferrari 360 Spyder (my dad's cousin has a 2001 360 Modena F1 coupe, which i've been in, so every time I see one, it's nothing new) has very close to there. For performance near that of the 360, the Coupe/Cabrio is quite a bargain. You could get two for the same price as the 360.

So anyways, they are great cars.
