yup. looks ugly as hell.

 

I think the Quattroporte overall is a great-looking car that has real Italian cachet for less dough than you'd usually have to spend. It's still a mint to buy though, and it keeps up Maserati's tradition of having beautiful, if more quirkily designed exteriors than Ferraris.

Personally, in the large luxury sedan class, I think the Jag XJ kicks everyone's butt about the room. I absolutely adore how it looks. It is also perhaps the least talked-about car in the class, aside from maybe the A8. The Jag is a bit below the pricepoint here because I think a fully optioned XJ tops around $85k, and everything else is well in that range or above it. Here's my wish list for the class:

1 - Jaguar XJ
2 - Audi A8/S8
3 - Maser Quattroporte
4 - BMW 7
5 - Lexus LS
6 - Mercedes S

 

I don't find any of the current Maser's to be pleasing to the eye.

 

agreed. along the lines of a hyundai. its not uncommon to see a very elaborate front end, only to be ruined by an over simplified rear.

 

I would agree its an odd looking car but with that being said its the only Maserati I like. For the cost of a new coupe id much rather have a new P car.

 

At first glance i thought it was a buick!, that side port deal reminds me of buick...anyway now that i have seen them several times and sat in one i can say that it is not bad looking, but not my taste...there are ugly cars out there...this one is not bad looking, perhaps because of the engine and drivetrain, these are redeeming qualities over the buick.

 

There's a lot of weird details that photograph horribly, but it all comes together in person, and the thing I always notice the most are the sexy curves.

 

There hasn't been a Maserati made in YEARS that I thought was good looking. They just don't do anything for me.

they drive like ass imo. great and sporty, but jerkey as hell, my friend bought one kept it for 6mos then launched it. they can be had cheap lightly used.... like 1/2 of msrp.
