"Is that your Maserati?"

JoeyBananas · 10-21-2016, 07:52 AM

According to these guys the Ghibli has more HP and is a much better car, lol. I go to Lifetime Fitness and there are a few of these, all driven by D-bags. And every single MILF is In a white Range Rover, lol. So predictable

Seems like everyone that sees them at their gym are in NJ?!

deephouse · 10-21-2016, 08:01 AM

Because they are not selling pretty good, you get some really cheap lease rates offered...

Ha a ghibli. You can lease one of those for less than an M3. I find in my area that most people who drive those are the "jersey shore" type who want to walk around the club with maserati keys in their hand hoping to impress snooksters

Lol, seems to be the case here in Philly too although the Maserati at my gym is actually driven by a newer creature: Snooksterdashian

Because he walked into the gym shortly after it pulled into the lot.

Spot on, there were a bunch of people there and it was purely timing

LOL. Half of M3 statistics are incorrect. What a joke.

Gibson6594 · 10-21-2016, 12:14 PM

Anytime a premium brand comes out with an "affordable" version of it's product, you have to question why and what they did in order to reach the level of affordability.

The guttural reaction is that the company is not doing well and that they need to release a product that will increase sales and profit margins. Sometimes the consumers are the "victims" of such releases. It's not prevalent to them because all the see is the Maserati label.

Like BMW did with the M2?

I don't think the same logic applies. The 2 series existed as an affordable BMW for a while beforehand, and the 1 series before that.

The M2 wasn't released to make up for poor sales.

Never liked Maserati as a car fan. Normal people still think they are like Ferraris and that's exactly how Maserati try to trick those non car persons into buying their "exotic" cars.

Haha this. One of my buddies parents just got one (we're 22) and all of our friends are mind blown when they see it just because it's a "Maserati." Before purchasing my m4 I just looked at the coupes for fun, and honestly still wasn't impressed enough to shell out the money they ask for them. IMO you are definitely paying for the name more than the performance and quality you get from the car, poor mans Ferrari if you ask me.

The Giulia is the Ghibli for enthusiasts

That's exactly what Maserati was hoping for. A cheap(er) car that still has the name that people will buy because they want an exotic but don't want to pay exotic prices.

For whatever reason, people will look right past the M4 and think the Maserati is the superior car. It's funny how perceive things.

It's all lies, so that's Hilliary's realm. But if you ask her, it was a secret plot by the Russians. It is funny, though. Before this comment I was going to say this sounded like a typical Democrat spin piece.

JoeyBananas · 10-22-2016, 07:12 AM

I wonder if owners of the Ghbili deep down know the M4 is a superior car?, probably not

No. All they see is the Trident. I had a funny thing happen this past weekend which kinda has something in common with this thread. The wife and I were at Thermal for M school and one of the other participants that had a Maserati coupe asked the instructor if his car could do what the M cars could on the track. The response (which I knew already) was no. The instructor let him down easily and begin speaking about the weight of his car. Basically as others have said bloated, heavy, wanna be Ferrari.
