You mean plug in hybrid too? The bloke mentioned it would be too heavy and lose the handling if they did that..
God knows.. I can't see it being that complicated or difficult to do if Im honest.BMW, Porsche, Mercedes even Peugeot seem to manage it.
Anybody else think that yet again Maserati have fluffed it and produced something nobody wants. I was expecting a proper hybrid.
(Having already seen it), why anyone would want to waste their time watching it is beyond me!If you missed it, you can view the presentation here

I test drove an Alfa Mito with 2 cylinders...I moved away from Alfa as they only had 4s

Interesting point about the DS9.. I haven't ever looked at them so I dont know much about them, however I would expect the platform and running gear to be available to FCA / Maserati after the merger..I suppose this was all they could do working with the existing platform. There was talk of it being a PHEV, which for anyone living near London, or soon Birmingham and a host of other UK city's, a way of avoiding the ever more expensive congestion charges - in London £15.00 per day now virtually 24/7.
The new, yet to be released, DS9 which although just a Peugeot 508 in disguise offers a very stylish PHEV alternative to the German exec saloons, which for me was the reason I bought the Ghibli. The DS brand has yet to gain premium credibility, Maserati seem, probably owing to lack of budget, to be stretching their badge credibility a little bit too far. I think, and according to reports, this hybrid drive train is intended to be a stop gap until an all new saloon to replace both the Ghibli and QP appears around 2025. As it stands as an owner for five years of the existing diesel, I'm not sure this is enough to want me to switch my current car, which I remain very pleased with.

I am interested in Maserati, technology, and future marque potential. I am not interested in arty farty graphics, silly soundtracks, and dubious commentary; it was hard work and I gave up on it.(Having already seen it), why anyone would want to waste their time watching it is beyond me!
So will you buy one??Well that was 30 mins of my life I ain't getting back.
Long on adjectives, short on tech specs, so cant really form an opinion.
Claimed to be a live event - it wasnt - it was all pre-recorded
Nope - now way!So will you buy one??
