    Are you able to tell what this head unit is? Looks different. Seems it is a "real" Bose?

    Is this system compatible with the Maserati Bose system of 2010?

    New Spyshots Maserati Granturismo

    I think it looks handsome, but I'm confused about the powertrains. Is it going to be ICE or Plug-in Hybrid or both? In the video above it sounds like it has the V6 in it. Will the V8 make it into some variant of it?

    What car after QPV?

    The VAG V8 has a nasty habbit of blowing its turbines due to a small oil filter that gets clogged at some point in its life, usually 80-140k kms. If this specific preventative maintenance is done, it should be very reliable. VAG says that does not require changing as it is fitted for life, but...

    4200 Coupe "Trofeo" on Car Trek Season 2!

    Quite common over there, I'm afraid. They seem to value comfort over style, regardless of how unfortunate that might be.

    Oh that is quite beautiful, almost perfect, if only it had a cuoio or brown interior. Fortunately I'm on the continent, and I have a greater selection to choose from normally, but there are no interesting ones on the market right now. Also I am weary of traveling to see the cars in person as...

    Beautiful car! I'm very jelous! I used to own a 4200 in Grigio Alfieri, had a Cuoio interior, I was so happy with it until I saw a Grigio Nuvolari one with the same interior. I felt cheated! I didn't order the car new, I bought it as a two year old car with a few thousand kms, but thought it was...

    Calling all QPV GTS Fans...

    Well there's various ways. I haven't asked for details but I'm pretty sure the car is owned by his business. I doubt the wife has access to accounting. He keeps it at his office in an underground garage.

    Calling all QPV GTS Fans...

    Speaking of the Mrs, I know someone who keeps a Ferrari F430 hidden from his wife, bought it more than 6 years ago, he always wanted one but wife wouldn't allow it, so he did it anyway. Keeps it at his workplace. Is there any discernible difference between earlier 4.7 GTS and the MY 2013 4.7...

    WOW! That Grigio Nuvolari GTS is absolutely stunning! It is my favorite Maserati color by far! It is the first GTS I've seen in that color, lucky owner!

    Considering a Ghibli II.

    Thanks for the advice! I would not buy a car without having a specialist go over it with a fine comb to determine the condition beyond the cosmetics. How problematic are the electrics though? Can you trust this car to go on a longer journey or does it throw fits when you least want it to? Do...

    Considering a Ghibli II.

    Yeah that's the car! I've known it since it was brought into the country in the early 2000s. The previous owner kept it pristine looking all the time, however at some point in the late 2000s it changed hands and it slowly became what you see in those pics. I would love to save it though!

    Considering a Ghibli II.

    I'm in Bucharest, Romania. Skilled mechanics, I know a few, so that shouldn't be a problem. I know they aren't the best built vehicles but I'm willing to put up with that, it's an emotional decision after all. Just curious, out of the 12k gbp bill how much of it is labor? Because I will be...

    Considering a Ghibli II.

    Hello everyone! I've been a lurking for a while trying to find information on the Ghibli II, and while there are some good threads, it's still not clear to me how maintenance intensive these cars are. My problem is there is no Maserati specialist able to work on biturbo era cars within 1000 kms...
