Flawless.

I can't wait to see the latest iteration of this car!

Greatest 4 door saloon at the moment. So the new model will be even greater.

I wouldn't say flawless. It's Italian.

But the sexiest greatest saloon. By far.

If you see this, why choose a Panamera or Rapide. Which are more or less in the same segment but differently shaped.

Anybody here seen the French blockbuster movie Intouchables?




Cheers

They do seem to match up with spypics. As others have already stated I think this is going to look great. Can't wait to see official pics.

I love it. The only thing that might bother me is the new Lexus GS/Hyundai Sonata tail lights.

Panamera is much more reliable, practical and affordable. Mostly, you can get it serviced.

Maserati is good for people who are overly concerned with image. Panamera isn't half as good looking, but it just makes more sense.

Same argument for the Porsche 911 - its just the most practical solution for upper-middle class folks.


Maseratis are good for hedge fund managers.

LOL

Get a 5 Series, even better. Porsche is anyway only for those concerned with image. They feel better driving a Prosche than "just" a BMW.

Not too sure if I like it. Maybe I'll wait for proper release pics before I make a judgement on it.
