I absolutely love the QP. My only gripe is that center dash section. From the Nav unit below just looks cheap and horrible. Also, has to much wood with nothing to break it up. I love the back seats in that example though.


EDIT: I love the interior in the GT, I wish they would use more of that design.

I saw one a couple weeks ago at Maserati of Naples. The car is not my style at all. The pin-striping is gross and the seats look awful...Like out of an 80s Lincoln or Cadillac....But they are comfy

I like it ... but not on a Maserati. Would fit better in a Bentley.

I like it! I wonder if the optical drive in the back seats is hooked up to some sort of computer... I'm thinking yes because of the keyboard but I'd love confirmation on this. I really love that interior! A dark blue exterior and this thing would be perfect!

Those seats are rediculously hideous!!

I have a constant hard-on for the Quattroporte, but this one doesnt do it for me. Especially when the new shape is about to land.

I came VERY close to purchasing a QP about a year ago. I was looking over sedans because my kids were going all different directions at school and activities. My 2-seaters were just not getting the job done. I even went down and test drove it. I really liked it. Of course, its not a "sports car" and if you approach it with that in mind, then I think it can be a very satisfying daily driver. It has a great exhaust note and has awesome interior appointments. The 2008 that I drove had a much improved gear-box over the horrible 2007 I drove the year before. Most of all, I just felt great driving it.

I went to the dealership with a price in mind and the salesman decided to get into a pissing contest with me. I simply don't play that game. So I walked away from the deal. But I am still a fan of the car for a daily driver - especially if you have the need for a sedan. If you drive one, I think you will like it.

The model above is the best example I have ever seen. I put it in the same class as a Flying Spur or SL63. But its Italian - which makes it special.

That's my man! I totally agree. My checkbook would jump out of my wallet.

By the way, last year I ended up buying a Honda Odyssey. We "love" it.
