I totally get them. The pros and the cons.
I make informed choices depending on the evidence in front of me, what works for me and what I want to own.
It's clear as a company they have a weak leadership at the moment. IMO the Ghibli and levante are weak examples in their sector. They depend too much on the wonderful Maserati name , but again, in my opinion offer absolutely nothing objectively over their many rivals.
Alfa, although a 'lesser' name have really addressed this , escpecially for their halo cars.

I still have my gts as I think it's the best in the segment. It's says a lot I haven't changed yet, I have money to burn in my pocket, increasing income and I love cars.
I just can't find any I can justify going for at the moment. Bring on a V8 alfieri (cabrio...in my dreams...)

A good looing car and I am sure the inside is superb. Probably not the best colour either, very plain in white.
I must agree though it is very understated apart from the grille and toothy grin, would you notice it from any other SUV and there are loads about now, the second picture has 3 cars in it and all are SUV's does the Levante stand out, not really.

De badge the car and put in a field with a load of de badged mainstream SUV's (not including a Range Rover) I think you would be hard pushed to tell which one is which.

Price has to be a key thing in selling - at £55k it is right in the top market and pitched way above the Kia Sportage, Ford Kuga, Nissan Squashi, Hyundai IX thing, Honda CRV etc etc. For that money I want a statement, I may change my mind when I see one in the flesh.

It's may be many things but it's not a good looking car.

The old qp or the granturismo is a good looking car.

Just m o.

Hilarious. Suggest you go and see one in the flesh then before writing a critique

It's a very good looking modern car and the best looking of the current crop of SUVs.
