Lovely looking exterior.
Didn’t even know Maserati had any EVs.
A brand I struggle to see being around in 10 years unfortunately.
I've owned several Alfas and Maseratis but Stellantis don't seem to be able to carve out separate niches for themDidn’t even know Maserati had any EVs.

A lot of their current cars seem to compete with each other, not only spec-wise but also image wise (Italian-led design, sporty, non-German).

It’s a pity as well because it almost seems like Stellantis is none existent when it comes to marketing.
The Maserati Levante was on TV (David Beckham documentary) and I had no idea it was out until I seen him driving it. Good looking car as well.
It’s a brand with such history but doesn’t seem to be any desire to sell more cars.
Alfa I was worried was going the same way however the new Alfa Junior shows some desire to make it work. Basically a more sport alternative that can rival the default Germans.

AB; yes there is a ragtop version. It's still the same rubbish as the closed coupe.
In the pic on page 1 of this thread, those are both old GTs - the M145 chassis, which was an exceptional car in every way. The new GT is just horrible in every way. Cheap interior, no more Ferrari V8, it's now a TT V6 with farting exhaust to match, has troublesome air suspension which we've had endless issues with (I work in service for Maserati, by the way) and also loads of software issues which take the factory days to correct so we can un-brick cars after updates gone awry. The new GT is a hugely overpriced heap of trash and the only way we even moved any of them was because Maserati ran two promotions side-by-side which made the lease quite attractive....was something like 1 year, 15K miles, nothing down and $550/mo for a base car. Despite that juicy pricing, no way I'd still want one. Better to just roll up that $550/mo and set it ablaze.
I see Carlos Tavares resigned from Stellantis, coincidentally, on the same day as Maserati's founding, Dec 1st. How ironic.

I take it your colleagues in sales never ask you to mind the showroom for a few minutes while they have a break In the pic on page 1 of this thread, those are both old GTs - the M145 chassis, which was an exceptional car in every way.
