They struggled to sell the face lift car so what makes them think they will sell more if it comes back. The ones for sale on AT just haven't shifted and I wonder just how many were sold. I am one of the few who actually thought the fac lift looked good and stopped the car from dating. But under the skin needed a refresh more than the outside. Still a beautiful car though in all guesses. if it does come back I wonder if it will have the latest QP GTS engine.... Surely that makes sense.
It’s coming back with the same 4.7 with exactly the same horsepower. It will be interesting to see if they make any interior changes but I don’t think they are from memory

That's a shame as it would be a ******* with that QP engine I'm sure. Not that the same V8 isn't a gem....

Personally, I would only consider the facelift car. I prefer the exterior, but it was the upgraded interior that was a must. No way could I live with the early dated interior. The problem with it is that its a mechanical dinosaur

What was updated in the interior on the latest face lift. Wasn't it just the infotainment on the dash. Isn't the rest the same ?

The 'old' interior is pretty timeless. Whilst the quality of materials isn't up with the older Masers, to my eye the GTS interior is aging very well. It helps to have piano black or carbon trim rather than the standard-spec brushed aluminium-effect stuff. I'm not fully sold on the new infotainment slapped in the middle. It just looks like a bigger screen slapped in the middle, it's just not as harmonious as the previous design. Upgrading the older system to CarPlay is a better bet.

Have to agree... and suspect they did it as with an expectation of a 12 month run... now it looks like a three year run; which is a typical mass market production run for a whole generation not just a face lift.
