Would seem so, shame really but what a halo car for the saloon range. clever marketing as all lesser variants will have the body pack as an option for the wannabees
I see there is also a new BMW 8 series coming too.
I've listened to every comment on the positioning relative to Alfa, Ferrari and the others. I've read all about the need from FCA for the brand to sell more cars and why they need a 4x4 and the normal stuff.
Nowhere have a read decent reason for there being no halo model. No good reason why the Alfieri has not made it to production.
It's just utter BS and even though my blood under a microscope contains trident shaped red and white cells, I am very close to abandoning the marque.
Their service is shite. They couldn't give a rats *** about their customers. They're making nothing of interest. They don't even race the Trofeo cars against anything interesting or even bring them to compete at Le Mans.
They have a lovely 3.8 at their disposal but it's in the wrong model. And even in the QP they haven't made it look any different. Imagine Mercedes used the S class only for the full AMG treatment and then made it still look like an S320 CDI. It's ridiculous. They should be stuffing that engine into everything, working to get their 4WD system working in right hand drive cars and making us all have somewhere to aspire to.
I love my Stradale but one day I will want to change and I will be forced to look elsewhere. That's nothing short of stupid, no matter how much marketing spin you put on it.
They need to fix this situation and fix it quickly or they'll lose years of good will and dilute the brand into nothing.
Rant over.
For now !!
Totally agree with you. The only good things about maserati at the moment are
1) this forum
2) the Stradale
3) the noise of an Mc shift!
