Don't get him started again!
Anyway, I agree with Greg - even if Maserati is having an identity crisis the cars we drive are things of beauty and joy. Plus they sound and go fantastically well.
Agree - and as owners of Ferrari-engined Italian beauties we mustn't forget quite how special these cars are.

Think those sales figures are not too bad
Another smallish to medium increase would be welcome though
After all there is an exclusivity factor to be considered too

Agree with that. I would go and look at the Levante if I was allowed a petrol one.

The new 4x4 market is not driven by keen motorists but by a combination of fashion followers and company car drivers most of who would listen to Hello magazine or the Tax implications respectively.
If they capture those two they will sell well.
Selling to just their historic client base will not be enough hence why we (I) feel more and more isolated from the 'new' brand.

4WD petrol Ghibli would do instead!

I can see the Levante doing quite well, especially if the press quoted figure of £55k is broadly accurate. That's the price of a 3 year old Range Rover or Range Rover Sport, with 40k miles or so on their clocks and a finished warranty.
I'm a big Range Rover fan, but I have to say that the good reviews for the new Maser are encouraging and would make me think before automatically just renewing my Rangie for another.
A petrol version would be nice though. My RR Supercharged (petrol) gives me about 17mpg on average, so it's not as if the Maser would be worse!

Yes know a few with the supercharged RR that like spending a lot a time stood at petrol stations, so there is a market for the petrol version for sure!
Mind you, the same can be said for the normal petrol car Maserati range too!

Interesting addition of sports seats and carbon options but no power upgrades which makes no sense. Lots of additional tech but does not really interest me.
They still have a 4WD option which is annoying for us.
