I guess Maserati have to go for a volume model to keep production plants going and to use them as a marketing tool for getting the name around. If the car is a dud, then the marketing turns on you and does damage to the whole, or it can do..?? The reviews I have seen seem to like the car overall and confirm that the diesel is not that inspiring, but manageable. If the fleet markets get a hold of it and they like it, then the model will do well, if not it is going to struggle. If Maserati have upgrades in the pipeline, they will have to monitor this one carefully and not bring them out too late, otherwise the resulting damage may not be reversible. I believe the petrol versions may save the day and the diesel be seen for what it is...OK..!!
