So what is everyone’s thoughts on it?

I really like it as a daily, 300hp 4 cylinder and a lovely spec all for £55k

It's quite a bit more than £55k on the UK configurator, and you don't need to select many options for it to be well north of £60k :(
What isn't though...

At last a Maserati with Modern Tech…..on the face of it.
I’d be ditching the black piano trim as much as possible as it looks very “fingerprinty”. A sunglasses wipe is gonna see a lot of use otherwise.
I like it more than I thought I would…….what’s it sound like?

When the press photos came out I thought it looked great then saw it at Goodwood and it’s styling was pretty underwhelming Matt. It was by the new Alfa Toenail and that cut more of a dash for me which was a shame. I have seen one review so far and it was OK but they didn’t rave about it and said it wasn’t up there with the rivals which again is a shame. Suppose you should get out and have a drive in one and see what you think.

There were a few kicking about at the factory in Modena.. I quite liked it. At that price it seems decent.

Reviews being a bit "meh" arent anything new for some stonkingly good Italian cars so I dont take too much notice of them.

Stelvio/Giulia platform (Giorgio) so should be good handing etc.

The issue is while you say reviews being a bit meh with anything new Maserati cannot really afford to have meh reviews on a car that has to sell well and make them money. A car like this has to be as good as the competition surely in the current climate as it has to succeed. The MC20 reviews have been excellent and it’s a car that has shown Maserati can fight with the big boys buts it a halo car. They know need to take that good press with that car and build on it and having average reviews will be the death of them with a car like this and this has to sell well for them. I so want them to succeed and make cars that turns the imagine around with Joe public as we need to start to see more bread and butter Maseratis on the road. We are still in a minority on this forum and others like it. We will see through some of the short comings because we love the marque but the majority will not and that has to change surely.

Where did you get the £55k figure from? Are they discounting already?

I spec'd flat white with red leather and one option of red calliper at £400. It came out at £56k ish. Did it again just now and its come up at £64k.

Then there is your GT price above and they are all different.

Also in the USA, they are quoting $63k for the base model so by my man maths that should be £54k....you have to love the Italians.....c'mon, make a decision!

Try again Matt it may get lower you never know and as soon as it hits under 50k press the button….Bargain.

The Trofeo ticks many boxes, but £95k starting figure is absolutely nuts.

Especially considering the equivalent Macan GTS is nearly £30k cheaper at 68k.
