Yes, we know, you’ve got a new product coming out…what to do with all that cash… ;)

I smell hardly-used Audis coming to the ‘gently used’ market soon…

The car is nice, but I looooove those wheels… Look closely.

Oooh, that’s nice!

In many ways similar to the MC12 … far more practical, undoubtedly :)

I’ll take two! One for me to ride around at 100 miles per hour and the second one to keep once I wreck the first one.

JF. Already got the new TT?

Sorry, I just don’t concurr. Looks like a dressed up, simplified Pontiac instead of an elegant european.

Why can’t anyone design a great-looking car that doesn’t look like a mid-life-crisis masturbation material? Not since the original beetle have we had anything really new and interesting that’s not just an update/rehash/pastiche of something old.

Looks like Aston Martin. Sad, but maserati lost their originality…

I agree with Insa, very Aston like, but still looks fricking good :)

Finally, a car we agree on. You loved the R8 but I thought it was bad in pictures and even worse in person. This is a masterpiece. I love the (original) Birdcage influences.

Hopefully it loses it’s value as hard as the GranSport and Quattroporte unfortunately have and they’ll be selling for mid-$40’s with 10,000 miles in a couple years. That would be an interesting option. Though we’re still talking Ferrari maintenance costs on that engine…

Nicer than the outgoing model for sure, but I still like the < ahref=”http://img.netcarshow.com/Maserati-Quattroporte_Executive_GT_2006_800×600_wallpaper_01.jpg”>Quattroporte better.

I really do love the Italian car designs… unfortunately, without a stable of awesome software applications to my credit I will have to wait for Alfa Romeo’s return to the U.S.

Nothing says awesome design like 12 mpg!

You have got it wrong, the GranTurismo is replacing the current Coupe, not the GranSport, model.

Sorry Chris. But i think you didn’t get it right. People don’t want revoultionary designs. They want things they already know. A drawer, is a drawer. We don’t wand fundemental new drawers. Just a drawer with a smooth open/close mechanism. That’s it. Same to cars, same to everyday things.

Uh, the noise of this car will make any signal turn green.

Looks nice, but compared to aTesla Roadster it’s pretty lousy – in all departments.

P.S. Why would anyone want a 4-seater sports car? Those back seats are not big enough for a dog anyway.

Because, omg, some people may want something different than what you want!

You lucky folks in the US. Always get the best toys! Why dun they start shipping these all over the world. :(

sweet

Its a nice car but i have a ‘92 Micra which is better!

Feeling strong need to save some money … Nice choice, love Maserati as well.

Nice, but I’d much prefer a pre-pampered Austin Martin Vanquish.

ill take 2
