Next year's BDay came early. My parents helped me with the downpayment on a brand new Maserati Gransport. I was just in the Ferrari garage ferrying back a 612 scaglietti when the dealer made me an offer I couldn't refuse on a new "old" Gransport. He even threw in a TUBI exhaust for free. He said it was like the last new Gransport on sale in Switzerland. The new GranTurismo S is not as sporty, so it was a good opportunity to drive the last "true" Maserati.
I will write a more detailed write-up once I get my proper camera working again.
In short...
Build quality is poor.
Tubi is so loud everybody stares and passengers get a migraine.
The handling is way ahead of the RS4.
Finally part of the Ferrari family at 27.
Chicks go nuts over it, classy yet show-off. Had three chicks in transparent dresses with me as I pulled up to the Kempinski hotel yesterday, there was no parking left ("Arab" week, so orange 430s with wings, matt black Murcis and SLRs, white Rollses, yellow 599s many with Saudi or Gulf plates with gibberish written on them) yet I still got crazy attention from passers-by and the valets at Hotel Angletaire parked it right in front of the entrance of the hotel.
Joining the Maserati club soon, hopefully some of the old geezers there have young trophy wives for me to seduce ;-)
