The interior looks great to me. If you could put up with a rather 'bright blue' exterior then thats a fine car.

Exterior is VERY bright mind...

That's the same colour as my Fiesta.

People have told me that it's crap, quite openly. I'm not sure if that's to do with the colour though?

I don't think it would be my first choice on a car like that!

i wonder how much that colour would hit the resale value ?

really surprised that Maserati would make such a colour to be honest.

bad loser

The interior looks like a cross between my latest car (ivory) and the last one (blue) so I guess the interior isn't quite as bright as it appears.

But the outside .

I've seen a bright yellow one at Stratstones quite a few times that looks almost as bad.

Perhaps it would look better in a country that has more sunshine than Britain.

Must have been a special order for a person with "special" taste.

You would have a try at loosing it.
Maybe find a nice vandel to damage the paint work
so you can get it re-sprayed.

It's like a bright red Aston. Just does not suit the car at all. Just goes to prove money does not buy you taste

Similar to Sprint Blue I had on a Fiat Coupe Turbo a few years back. Still looks good on the Fiat so why not the Maserati!

During my last two trips to France/Germany I have come across collections of Porsches, presumably owners club gatherings, where the range of garish and inappropriate (to some people) colours has been the norm. I agree it's probably something to do with sunnier climes. After all, we have BRG whereas the national colour in France is blue, and in Italy, red.

Ian - they'll more than likely be RSs of some sort or another. It's a tradition on Porsches of this ilk.

A sensible coloured RS is a bit like a non-red Ferrari or a non-silver Maserati 3200/4200 - rare!

I kind of like it but think it would be hard to sell.

Come resale time you can already hear the dealer, "oh sorry mate it's the wrong colour" as he shafts you on the price.
Lovely interior though!

colour looks like 'French Blue' which several Ghibli Cups were delivered in IIRC. (I drove one that colour, sure it made it faster
