It was the launch colour!

Albeit with red interior - even more classic Germanic

Nothing wrong with Touring Grey anyway :)

Had they just bought a tanker of silver paint cheap or something , I've never seen a GT that looked so dull

This is what they should look like

Stunning of course in that blue, but Grigio Touring does show off the lines. Maserati designers must have thought likewise back in 2007 and it would have been easy for launch car customers to follow suit. Biased I may be, but I also like it, especially when complemented and contrasted with appropriate detailing.

That's lovely....I personally think silver suits the GT. Shows the lines of the car better than all those dark colours that most seem to pick.

Have you driven a Bentley yet , I never have but my mate Andy was smitten, like he'd just got a date with a supermodel , he really didn't want to take it back even though he knew it'd bankrupt him

Yes. I drove one just after Christmas. Standard Mulliner spec. Made the GT interior look like Barbie's car, sadly. Tomorrow's is a GT Speed with the lowered suspension and 600hp, and facelift. The issue I may have is that it's too refined.....

Too refined for an Essex boy ;)

The can might well be closed. What a thing.

Yes, a touch too refined, but also altogether glorious. Mrs C was totally oblivious to the speed the thing is capable of, and just how competent it feels.

Not quite the same level of nutsack tingle but (if the stars align) it will be a worthwhile experience..

Then I would just need a small piece of black tape to cover the mpg number............
.....a very small piece of tape it seems
