Just my opinion.

That's not a gran sport, but you are entitled to your opinion . Maseratis are all about the options you get. For example with the Coupe, you started out with an OK interior, good handling etc, but if you add the gran sport options, the interior group and the skyhook suspension you've now got magnetic ride control, leather wrapped ceiling, pillars, dash, seats, suede/leather wheel, and almost zero plastic in the interior, bigger brembos, faster shifting, etc. Of course those options will cost ya and a lot of those options were lost when they made the move to the bigger, more GT-based Gran Turismo, which is what you're driving there. The gran sport feels much more like a sports car or an exotic than the gran turismo. The difference between base model and fully loaded is astounding. Again, I'm biased because we have one, but I'm a big mas fan. We had a quattroporte and now the gran sport. I think the old man is getting too old now though because he wants a bentley instead of the next step up, the 458.
