Tracer-X Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The Maserati is not a gorgeous sedan in my opinion. It looks like a turn of the century Buick, with it's ovoid LeSabre like grille, hell it even has port holes in the front fenders like a Park Avenue. That and the Quattroporte is overweight, and costs more than other cars offering more features. The Porsche looks like a Porsche, the interior looks amazing, and the car, according to reviews, is one of the best four door drivers cars ever made. Separated at birth? You beat me to it, pictures and all. I love the Maserati Granturismo but am NOT a fan of the Quattroporte. Jump on it, Let's do it, Ride it, My Pony...

fishbone Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 ONE cupholder in the center console? Sorry, but I just changed my mind, I will not be buying this POS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin1657615274 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Looks good from the front. The rear is an outright abomination. I think the back end of a 928 with the Saab style bumper even looks better than that. It just doesnt flow at ALL. And the yellow brakes are heinous. On the search for a new DD...

bgLGT Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Some Arab was showing his off at the mall last week. It's not that bad looking in person, but just the fact that some hood-rich Arab was showing it off in the front of the mall and blocking traffic left quite a distaste in my mouth. I like the fact Porsche put some proper aspect ratio GT tires on it rather than some rubber bands. I'd still take a 456GT over it though...even with 2 less doors because I <3 Ferrari GT's (Thanks for the pr0n Philt, that's one of my favorite cars ever!).

loserpro2 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 when top gear reviewed the Panamera during the race versus the Royal mail, it really made me not like the car even more. the interior though, don't get me wrong is really fantastic but the exterior of the car really does not make up for it. i will only stare at the front if i was given the car to look at from the outside for a day. i would also think this in terms of choices over this car: Bently Continental GT Flying Spur/Maserati Quatroporte/BMW M5/Aston Martin Rapid/Mercedes related competitor/Lamborghini 4 door sedan concept > Porsche Panamera. i am dissapointed from reading that the aston martin rapid rear passenger space is not as good as it is.

I like your opinion, you actually have proper tastes in 4 door supercars. I forgot to mention to the Bently Flying Spur, it has monster power but way more class than the Conti GT coupe.

loserpro2 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 haha, thanks. i like the mansory tuned one a lot, the one where it had a black exterior with silver rims before they made it into black with orange and orange rims. = =" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 ^ Oh look, a heavy, underpowered (now for it's class), overpriced, fuel guzzling, Buick porthole and grille wearing, Fiat sedan. In fact put a Buick symbol in the grille in place of the Maserati trident and you'd never know it wasn't a Buick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Buick like features about it. I also like the looks of the new Mulsanne (everyone else seems to despise it), sadly I do not find myself in the right socioeconomic demographic to be able to afford either one. Sorry but the Maserati has never floated my boat, it is too big to be a proper home for such a peaky screaming engine. Big cars like that need big torque, effortless torque at all engine speeds. If they happen to be happy running up to over 6,000 RPM's then so much the better, but they should make serious twist down low too. The Maserati fails at this. The port holes in the fenders also rub me the wrong way. The Bentley on the other hand.... excels at making big silly amounts of torque all over the RPM range. For that matter in Turbo form, so does the Panamera. I know we will not agree but I think the Panamera is a good looking car, especially in a dark metallic color or white with the 20" BBS style wheels. I know I am in the minority on this, but I am a form follows function kind of guy and the Panamera is purposeful in it's looks and I like that.

psi365 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Personally I'd go with an S8. You may not get the "llok at me now," factor but I love the 5.2 V10 with an aftermarket exhaust on it. http://motoroutpost.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/2008_audi_s8_ext_13.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'd rather have a new BMW 760Li than the Audi. Twin turbo V12 for the win. Just imagine the Dinan tuning for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks ungainly and has the mouth of whale shark. The GranTurismo on the other hand is stunning. The Aston Martin Rapide is what I'd put my money into.

Penguin Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Add snow to the problem then let's talk. Yeah, I don't give a rat's ass about snow. If I can afford a BMW 760Li chances are good I can also afford something very snow worthy too, like a Land Cruiser with winter tires on it. In fact the Land Cruiser is something I would rather have than the Audi too, much more capable AWD system, it can tow quite a bit, has plenty of ground clearance, overall a great vehicle.

Most of our customer's have a car like an S8 as their winter beater/dd and have things like GT2s and the such as their toy cars. Of course a few of them have things like Cayenne GTS's too. Sorry I kind of never got the whole bimmer fanboy thing especially after it became Bangle Motor Works. If anything the Banglized cars lost a lot of the sporty look I thought BMW had as compared to MB and Audi. As always that is a personal opinion though.
