Don't put yourself down. At least you are still mobile and able to turn without help.

It's an odd system, really

Same ZF box as the GT and Bentley but this really odd knob that rises out of the centre console. <shrug>

8-speed or 6-speed in the Jag?

6. It's an old one. Like my Bentley was

Exactly, people spend stupid amounts on options when they could have a better engine. This Macan S Diesel was Turbo money, so was @outrun ‘s car.

Yup, our car has around £30k of options taking it to around £75k new. Which is a bit mental but not at all uncommon.

Sold it yesterday however, new daily driver incoming today.....watch this space....

Saw one in the flesh this week at HR Owen in Stockport. LHD, just a display vehicle but it had 4k on the clocks. Looked really well put together, paint was a stunning colour. Reckon you’re at £80k for a base model hybrid with a few options.

Whilst I like the look of it (and will not be buying one) most people will walk past it and not even consider it preferring a Macan or something from Merc or Audi. Good effort but will it bring meaningful volumes back? Doubt it.

Such a bland interior... why are cars like a coffin inside these days?

Agreed. Maserati interiors used to be quite an event. But not so much anymore. (MC20 excluded.)

When I saw the press release of this I thought it looked great. Then I saw it at Goodwood in the flesh and found it rather underwhelming. The Alfa Toenail across the way looked better. Perhaps it was because it was parked next to lots of exotic machines.

I think they’ll sell loads of them. It won’t be easy structuring finance packages after interest rate hikes though. The benchmark is the Macan which is superb but ubiquitous. Tonale is a bit underpowered and slow and is half the price, different market.

I like that they’ve manage to avoid this huge slab of a front end that a lot of the new SUVs have, even the latest Range Rover is a gopping monstrosity from the front.

 

[Motorsport3]

I find it too similar to a Macan both in terms of looks and price. In my eyes going for it is pure risk of faster depreciation.

2 years old, 24k miles, £30k?

That would make sense. I suspect £38k would be more actual area

Finance will be a biggy for sure now on all cars.
I should be rolling my M140i into something newer, I've kept it already a few years longer than planned. My car allowance has almost paid it off completely, so equity the value of the car, and its worth far more than expected at this stage when I bought it. The plan was for my car allowance to pay the depreciation, not actually buy it outright!
But when you see interest rates rise, along with energy and food etc, the urge to change dwindles with the saved money not changing, being directed to living!

Do you think they will sell loads Dicky. I would imagine outside the UK maybe they will but I don’t see how they would in the UK as they never have before and can’t see how anything has changed with the public perception of this wonderful marque. it’s not as if they haven’t tried as the Ghibli was the a car that they wanted to break the market with. The dealer network is the same which isn’t great and they need to look at servicing/parts costs as well to drag customers out of their other cars. As long as I’m they sell enough to make more cars like the wonderful new GT and amazing MC20 then bring it on.

Never mind the colour…The price blinded me more…

PS I really don’t mind the colour.

Nice car in wrong colour. There is something of NY taxi in a yellow 5m long saloon.

Down the line maybe but I’d say for a nice spec car 2 years after release at 24k miles, £59995. When they’ve been out 8 years then maybe nearer 50% depreciation in 2 years.
