I'm probably the only one on here that likes it! It does have Audi, BMW styling but it still looks like a Maserati to me. It'll sound like one too I'm sure.
It's a bit like reading your favourite authors every new title, you tend to forgive the odd bland plot knowing another will come out soon, in the same vein pop stars have a devoted following who will forgive the condescending cr4p they sometimes release. But with this we are talking about and looking at the long term future.
The trouble with this is Maserati struggled for years then came the tie up with Ferrari which gave additional kudos and the berth of the coupe but it wasn't until the utterly gorgeous QPv came along that the world stood up and took notice.
It was a breath taking design, Ferrari built engine, radical gearbox, totally Italian interior and very fast yet it still struggled to sell more than 3000 units a year.
As far as the design of the Ghibli goes there is not much to really dislike about it in the same way as there is not much to dislike about the BMW 3 series or the Lexus or Audi in fact with those I don't really have an opinion one way or another because I'm not interested which is I fear the way the new Maser will be regrettably received. Plus with 50,000 masers year pouring out onto the streets and some with bl00dy diesels in them................where would individuality and exclusivity go.............up the swannie unfortunatly.
