Looks better in reality.
Some of it is good. I don’t know if it has pre sense collision etc but in the event you do crash you will be grateful it applied tension to be belts before you crash and go head first towards the air bag. Lane assist however has always been a bit pointlessDoesn't look that much different to mine, except I've got better wheels
Not sure about the new grill, but its a bit more aggressive. The problem is that badge to house all of the unwanted* driver assistance
* I know that the driver assistance is something that people like Doug DeMuro like because its tech and god forbid your car didn't have all of the latest high tech gadgets in it, but for me it misses the point of Maserati. Don't you buy a Maserati to drive it and not to have it drive you?

Lane assist normally has to be activated as it needs white lines to work, so will remain manual unless they use GPS activation in the future. Pre sense obviously works on sensors rather than cameras. Most of this stuff can still be turned off. Certainly with Audi etc you can turn off pre sense, blind spot and lane assist so not a big problem if you prefer the driving experience without and suspect it is customisable with most manufacturers
Re the Ghibli lane assist - Does it interfere and actively intervene all the time? How does it do it on a country lane or B road for example? Do you think people really become reliant on lane assist? I.e. happily wander across lanes in the knowledge the car will push them back inline? I get something like adaptive cruise definitely encourages laziness (its the point of it) but lane assist is occasional at best I would have thought. Perhaps we are more diligent than the average.......
