Good bye BMW 7 Series helo Maserati Quattroporte

[coyotefreek]

Well details have been releaced on the Maserati Quattroporte and it looks like they've done it right. At $90,000 its very comparable to all the top offerings from BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Jaguar. It holds a 4.2L V8 with 400 horsepower and about 360 pound-feet of torque. In the looks department it is completey original and amazing. Now we will have to see how Mercedes will compete with its S Series redesign due for 2006.

The grill seems a tad big, but overall I like it. Looks like fun![fake]

Except for the tail lights -- that looks like they came from a honda prelude, I really like it! Looks MUCH better than the new 7!!!!!

Very nice... that wood looks fake on the interior... =)

I am almost 100% positive that wood is real. I forget what its called but its perty rare.

Wow, seems like a kickass luxury sport sedan! The transmission looks great...finally a pimp daddy luxury sedan with a nice semi-manual transmission !! Although, I must admit, I am not feeling the front end of the car...looks too weird for me.

Good alternative. I don't exactly dig the new 7.

 

[mclarensmps]

naah, not anywhere even close to the 7....[fake]

That interior looks awesome!

The front of the car isn't too appealing with it's oversized grill and all, but I'll take the back of this car over the back of the 7 any day.

I love the front, almost reminds me of an aston martin.

I love the front, almost reminds me of an aston martin.

That's what I was thinking.. Looks pretty nice, the interior is a bit much for my tastes, but it's got great lines.

I saw one of these on the road the other day. It was a real head turner. Very unique looking and very attractive. Those Italians sure know how to build a pretty car. Wish BMW would hire a few of their designers. [:X]

wow, i would choose the 7 over this....sowwy! The QUATTROPORTE sure is a good lookin car though-saw it at the LA AUTO SHOW, but compared to the $75,000 BMW 745i, i would take the 7...just my opinion though

 

[mclarensmps]

saw it at the canadian auto show (today), doesnt look much better in person actually... didnt really like it too much! probably because it was standing next to so many ferraris
