new maserati coupe?

[cjm]

Does anyone know more about this or have any pics? Doesn’t seen to have been much in the mags and doesn’t seem to be any hype or discussion about this car compared with the Aston v8 which had about 2 years build up before it went on sale!
Are Maserati keeping quiet to let the Alfa 8C have the limelight before they bring out the same basic car for £40k less?

Anyone ordered one?

I believe it's being launched at the Geneva show.

I have been told that the production of the current Coupe stops in May, which probably means they'll begin building the new one around September.

This is a clue, you've probably seen these ones already?




A guy i work with has a Quattroporte, he's ordered one of those as he preferred the shape.

This is a photoshopped version.

Hope that isn’t it doesn’t look too great. I think they are of an early development mule, I have seen other pics of fully disguised cars which look much smaller with out the large Quattroporte rear overhang.

Don't like it! Then again I have just bought a 3200, so I probably would say that.

Honestly though, to me it just blends in with the crowd, no WOW factor...I am sure that it is a better car that the outgoing model but looks are very important with this marque.

I have no reason to think that the car will be stunning, not like the photoshop above. A sleek coupe with a QP type front end grill...whats not to like. I wait with baited breath.

I'm a fan. Love the QP, so a 2dr version would be nice IMO.

I agree the QP is a lovely car, but not a sports coupe, the nature of the sports coupe is to WOW as well as perform. I just feel that Maserati, as its sister company Alfa has become, has gone for a safety shot rather than an all out coupe.

i'll save my judgement until I see it in the flesh....

Hi Littlebro...Andyk 3200 forum

Cant really see that being it, would expect something a bit better than just a dueporte
