Do what he likes to his car really.

Could this mean there is a bubble in China?

[matthewcornish]

Well... windows and perhaps the doors... but it does appear the more expensive to repair parts have been left untouched. Hardly destroyed.

[MarkwG]

Seems a bit self defeating if the original complaint was about a poor repair...

[Barry38]

What a joker

[threespires]

Does anybody remember an Élan owner doing the same outside Earls Court on Motor Show day.

[Cotty]

New glass and a new bonnet and that will be fine. They didn't touch the rest of the panels.

[C900]

The owner of this Lamborghini Gallardo did a rather more thorough job of smashing his car, after poor customer service apparently.

[alfabadass]

Guy seems like a bit of an idiot.

Just moaning and not asking for a demand or something? $400 repair with used parts. $400 seems like a cheap visit to the Masser dealer...

Is the tone a bit anti-Western?

"Maserati has yet to respond. Consumer rights are a hot topic in China these days with many Chinese fuming against the perceived ‘arrogance’ of especially Western companies. A relatively small conflict can under these circumstances easily get out of hand, in a bad way. Maserati better respond quickly, announcing a serious investigation or such, otherwise the whole country could get angry…"

Maserati better respond and quickly or the whole country will get angry? A bit dramatic! And anyone with more knowledge than I, just how strong are consumer rights in China anyway?

Once I heard "Customer is the King" in China.
But it is true they're not getting the right service for the price unlike here in the UK,
especially after paying 2-3 times more for it..

Maserati Quattroporte with descent options cost around half million dollar in China.

What a fanny. And the cheek of an Italian complaining about quality!
