Lovely.
Small point, but why no HID's specified when new!
Would annoy me on such a premium car.

One of my favourite colours, I saw it on a QP near to me but didn't know what it was called. Looked stunning!

This looks like a great GS, but it is up there on price. I'm sure it will go though, so maybe that's just me being cheap! : )

A nice colour, but it highlights the side skirts a bit much plus not a fan of that fussy front plate. Minter looks wise though

The exterior colour is ok, but I'm not a fan of the blue interior although I can't think of another colour that would go with the light blue. Light grey perhaps, but I don't usually like that in a Maserati either.

Yes, I confess, I'm rather fond of Marmite, but the rather the reverse to the blue leather.

Agree Chris, why so many GS and 4200 do not have the HIDs is lost on me given it was only 1% of the cost of the car

But the kits only give you 1/2 the stuff required. I also understand that it will be an MOT item in a year or so, so after market kits without wash and self leveling will be a fail.

Not keen on HIDs, they're lovely on full beam but I find the cutoff is too severe on low beam; means you end up driving slower as you just cant see anything past the cutoff.

I wouldn't have one without Xenons. My 3200 lights were shockingly bad, to the point of dangerous when carrying speed on a lot of roads. My GS has them and I wouldnt be without them now - a massive improvement over non-xenons IMO.

I can see both sides of this. Personally I prefer HID, but they do have a very precise cut off. Grinzz, sounds like you could (have?) benefit(ed) from up aiming, a smidge?

Hold on...both systems use the same projector its only the type of light that differs, the HID is far brighter and closer to natural day light.

I do agree than in non projector systems tbere is more blead of light across ths beams.
