I think Maserati have missed the boat by taking so long to bring the Alfieri to market. It should be here by next Autumn at the latest with a 3.8 tt V8 and a 7 speed dc for around 100k. The market and pundits would rave about how maser are back on top.
As it is they will be playing catch up with with what might look like bringing a knife to a gun fight. I hope they get right cos they will only have one chance.
The Ghibli being the prime example. Everyone has concentrated on how mediocre the diesel is instead of them squeezing the 3.8 V8 into it to start with as a halo model so the press concentrate on what's blowing todays socks off.
+2. Although Mrs MAF was far from overjoyed upon learning I've ordered one, she seemed to be much less annoyed when I told her it won't be here for 3 years. I found out why yesterday when I arrived home 5 minutes before the builder she'd arranged to come round and quote for various remodelling works including her new kitchen. Beaten at my own game....
