    New Granturismo and Grancabrio now pushed up the ladder and due in 2018

    This week's Auto Express states that the Alfieri has been pushed back to 2021 to allow Maserati to launch new GTs by 2018... Exciting times ahead - hope they really up the power to circa 500BHP on these. Wonder what happens to current GT values now....

    A month in with my Ferrari 458 Short review and comparison to my previous beloved GTS

    Any many of you are aware I pondered replacing my much loved MC Shift (2009) with an MC Stradale or maybe even an MC Cabrio. I drove both the Strad and the Cabrio - both were just as fascinating as each other but not different enough for me to justify the upgrade to them. The convertible felt a...

    Granturismo Carbon Fibre Mirror Caps on Ebay

    Came across these today - maybe good for someone with a lighter coloured car to create a nice contrast - I'd have taken them if my car was not black :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Maserati-GranTurismo-Carbon-Fibre-Mirror-Covers-/131733399543?hash=item1eabec27f7:g:XpQAAOSwuAVWyec9

    Clock in dash running faster than digital clock in dash?

    As above - any ideas? The analogue clock seems to jump up by 10 mins every couple of weeks or so - does not run faster than 10 mins - 10 mins is the max it jumps I mean....anyone?

    MC Cabrio - OMFG

    All I can say is W O W - what a car!? So someone tell me is this basically a MC Stradale convertible? It has the stradale rear end but not the gearbox - how very confusing... http://www.gcmotors.co.uk/maserati-grancabrio-mc-2dr-in-north-yorkshire-5242634

    Does anyone know anything about this MC Shift - seems way to cheap!?

    A friend of mine has enquired about the car in the attached link. A simple phone call to ask about the car resulted in him asking if there was any room for movement on the price and he was told he could have it for £37,500. Now to me that seems ridiculously cheap - it is hard to find a decent...

    Mc Shift to a MC Stradale - anyone made the move?

    Wondered if anyone on here swapped an MC shift for an MC Stradale? How do the cars compare? The noise, the acceleration, the gear changes and the refinement? Just wondering....

    Grinding noise / vibration from rear wheel on driving away

    Has been happening on and off for a few weeks now. Happens more when the car has been standing for a long time e.g over 2-3 days - when I drive away there is a whine/grinding kind of noise from the rear passenger side wheel area and then it completely disappears not to return until I park up for...

    6th year service now due (2009 MY)

    My GTS service light has just turned on. It's a 2009 car with 30k on the clock. Before I call around just wondered if this is a "big service" or a small one and what I can be expected to pay at a main dealer? Thanks.

    Maserati's much more common in the USA!

    Just got back from a lovely 1 week break in Miami and another week in Los Angeles. Was surprised to see the number of Maserati Granturusmo's and Ghibli's out there! Not exaggerating but every 30-40 cars passing one was a Maser! The Ghiblis can be seen out there like BMWs and Audis here in the...

    Rosso Trionfale - GTS - OMG I am in LOVE!

    This has to be the most fantastic and rarest colour I have ever come across on a GTS IMHO - this thing is just sublime and if I was in the market for one would buy this in a flash :beauty: http://www.hrowen.co.uk/maserati/approved-used/4243/

    No MCshift mode (light) ?

    So today my car has decided not to show me the MCshift mode on the display...sports exhaust engages fine when the button is pressed and the gearshifts also seem quick and MCshift like just no light! Any ideas? Usually when cold the MCshift light flashes and when warmed up it glows solid but...

    Do you use a professional detailer, local polish/romanian/asian car wash or do you do it yourself!?

    Granturismo Sat Nav update options?

    Enquired about a map update for my GT and was told it would be circa £700 :battered: Found it online for a few quid cheaper but surely there must be other ways to update this? http://www.hrowen.co.uk/maserati/offers/christmasgifts/ In my BMW days I used 'back up discs' easily...

    Granturismo - Parking Lights not working when using P switch but working otherwise

    Just notice that if I use the headlight switch to the P position the parking lights (front and rear LED strip) on my car do not work however they do work with the headlights on either Auto or using taking the switch to 'on'. Any ideas? Faulty switch, fuse?
