Maserati who?

[i_rebel]

I don't know much about these cars . . . actually to say I know nothing at all might be an understatement.

I do know however, that I have never seen a Maserati that I liked . . .

You don't like the 3200GT. They are owned by ferrari now, and are quite neat. I like them, adn the have a great history (the tipo 61 birdcage, what an awesome car!)

My new dream car (for a few days anyways ). 90's Maserati Ghibli Cup. RWD. 6-speed. 330 hp. Under 3000 lbs. 0-60: 5.2. 28 mpg. Useful as a daily driver, with looks and speed to kill.

I can't wait for when the Spider model comes to the US. There's room to compete in that market niche. Although I'd be concerned how they'd do the service without much of a service network in the US.

Service is as near as your local ferrari dealer or exotic car dealer

you've obviously never seen one in the flesh then. if u had i would almost guarantee you would fall in love with it

you failed to mention the 2.0 litre engine that makes the 330bhp!!! they got a reputation for being just a little unreliable!

I've seen far too many, and honestly didn't like the styling of any of them. Most often, I'd see the convertible/coupe that resembled a Chrysler LeBaron (late '80's early '90's) . . .

Hideous . . .

i supppose they were a bit of a love it or hate it design

Ah, the Chrysler TC by Maserati That was a chrysler that got a hand from Maserati. And a damn good Chrysler it was!! Trust me, that is not a Maserati.
This is a Maserati!!


And here is the newest one, built to compete with XK8's and SL500's:

[Pennzoil GT-R]

i didnt know until the other day that they had had so much trouble with the 3200GT. not meant to be too much better than the Maseratis of old for reliability

[Chris]

Yeah, thank god Ferrari bought them out. But really, what can you expect from such a low-volume car maker, Toyota-reliability?? Its a wonder they even started!!!

[Pennzoil GT-R]

i guess small volume manufacturers like Maserati, TVR, Pagani etc. arent too bothered about reliability. people dont buy them for that.

I have been a long time Maserati luster..... after seeing the prices biturbo's (my fave) fetch on ebay and at classic car auctions, i will own one, they are really quite affordable....if you dont use it much.

i have a very soft spot for the biturbo, but also like the 80's Quattroporte (sp?) they always seem like a gangsters / villans car to me, especialy in black, with limo tint windows.
