Fingers crossed for a NAV8 but I'm not holding my breath. More likely V8 Turbo/twin turbo or V6TT

The next coupe will be potentially a lot less analogue that most on here would like but that's how they are making cars these days

Although they could surprise us like Lexus did with the LC500 however as someone else mentioned FCA dont have enough clean running cars to churn out huge N.A. V8s without being taxed... Maybe they should do an Aston Martin and released a rebadged 500 or punto as a maserati town car (watches everyone cringe)

I must admit to being guilty of this regarding my Strad and keeping the milage down for the purpose of resale.
Why oh why oh why do we have an issue with mileage?

We know that these cars need to be used to keep the in fine fettle. Yet, many keep them under a (Maserati) indoor car cover in a garage with a trickle charger plugged in. And then complain about having issues when they take them out on the first fine day in late July (exaggeration!). Just does my nut...90k + and still 390bhp.

I remember this saw one at auto Italia three years ago. The wheels are cool but imitations really...

Those awful rebadged ford fiesta aston martins are also holding their value massively

Toyota iQs you mean but yes the AM Cygnets are making about what they were new!

Ah right it's an IQ... They did well to make it look like a Ford lol. Still explains how Lexus release a 5.0l V8 while toyota are churning out thousands of low emission sh!t boxes to "balance it out"

The AM thing is quite sought after

Fek me! Have you seen how much they are?
I'd never heard of them but just Googled it.
£30-£35K for a Fiat!!!!!!

remember seeing those Ferrari/Maserati tributo cars in an abarth showroom a couple of years back and thinking you've got to be real mug to fall for these cars at those figures. The one to have is the now very rare limited Fiat 500 Ferrari "Dealer edition", these were only given to approved Ferrari service centres as courtesy cars for customers, but they were all sold off eventually to important clients, think only 200 were made, did see one pop up for sale about a year ago

Edit: can confirm there were only 200 made, individually numbered and only 60 came to the UK

I must say that B&Q must have made a killing in laminating that factory floor...
