Saturday morning used car search, usual unfocused womble around, you know, is the DB9 better than a GranTurismo, do I really want to try a 911, does a V8 F Type really sound that good etc etc.
Anyway stumbled on the H R Owen Maserati used car website. 56 cars for sale, 3 Ghibli and 53 Levante (think I got the maths right Wattie). No GT or GC. So SUVs are the future and sports cars are tiny volume halo cars....Porsche got there first.
It also got me thinking about the future of the 911 itself. With electrification batteries sit under the floor, cars have amazingly even weight distribution especially if they have motors front and back and there is no need for 150kg to be hung out behind the rear axle. Surely the 911 is now a run out special as its reason for being is about to die? Ditto how do mid engines cars evolve? All very unclear and confusing.
