Hum, they are taking a huge risk with the marque if you ask me, but then if they stayed stagnant that would have been just as terminal. Its a tricky one but still feel they should sort out what sells best for them....4 seat, 2 door, 400hp GT cars...the GT has done really well for them as did the 4200, they desperately need to produce a 4200 replacement and if the Alfieri is a 2 seater, that won't cut it for all.
I see it:
2 seat 2 door V6 Turbo (Alfieri)
4 seat 2 door compact V6 Turbo coupe (GranSport)
4 seat 2 door GT V8 coupe (GT)
4 seat 4 door V6 Turbo compact (Ghibli)
5 seat, 4 door V8 SUV (Levante)
Drop the QP, these sales are going to be soaked up by the Ghibli and Levante
Interestingly, Alfa released the niche flagship sports cars first (4C and 8C) and Maserati are going the other way, releasing the high volume cars first....which one will be right, only time will tell, but so far, its clearly not working out for Maserati, hence the closures.
