I’d be amazed if the base model was £200k, more like £140k I reckon which compared to Ferrari is super cheap.

What do you think they'd pitch this against, Dicky?
They would just make it, it’s up to forums and journos to choose against what it’s pitched. Basically, anything at the same price point.
Then what would you pitch it against? I mean, if you fancied one, what else what you take for a spin?
If it is 200k it is up against very nice (and lusted after) Ferraris, Lambos and Maclarens etc. So it will have to be very very good.
Even if it is 'only' 140k, you still have a crop of very good and very popular cars to beat - think 911, Merc GTR, R8, Vantage etc.
Or an MC, a gran cab and a daily driver
If I had the choice of an Audi, a Merc or a Porsche at the same price, I’d buy the Maserati.
As would I. Or possibly the Vantage ragtop.
But lots and lots seem happy to drop that amount on a 911. And if past performance is anything to go buy in terms of residuals, that is a decision made with the head.

Surely if the decision is a mathematical one made with the head, you’d be buying an Aygo or a Sandero or similar.
I believe it’s going up against the new Dino coming next year. In which case Ferrari probably not too happy about this ! The article also says it will be the “right side” of 200k. So it’s anyone’s guess what it will cost. If this is the disaster many on here seem to predict I’d rather see Maserati go down swinging on a car like this vs a diesel ghibliThen what would you pitch it against?

True .... but the 911 has also built a reputation as an every day sports car. Which Maserati certainly has not.
And much better looking IMO!Granturismo is a perfectly useable everyday car. Also considerably cheaper than an equivalent 911.

Though the sales figures for 911's are pretty poor these days. It's the lowest selling Porsche. If they relied on this they'd have gone bankrupt years ago. It's the Cayenne and Mecan that keep them going. Hence why Maserati thought they needed the Levante.
