yes it may have some buick trademarks to it but i think the front looks alot better and more agressive. This things has more of a gaping grill. And when you hear the sound that this baby makes you'll know its no buick.

Those holes are the only thing the Maser has in common with a Buick. Other than that they look nothing alike to me!

The quattroporte is nice but it doesnt have any character. I don't see why anyone would buy that considering the other choices they have in a sports sedan.

The Gran Sport is ugly. The proportions are disgusting. Nothing spectacular from Maserati..

I hope you're talking about the Quattroporte as far as looks are concerned because the driving experience I've read repeatedly has nothing but character, especially over the cold, but efficient German sedans.

They're very hot and cold, Maserati are. The Coupe looks pretty bad, with the droopy front end and baggy sides, but the Quattroporte looks good - on certain angles. And the MC12 is just ugly.

Quattroporte get me vote, very nice car. The design is very Italian.

They look better in pictures!!!

I saw a few on the road, and the only ones i like are the CambrioCorsa's.

I saw a green Quattroporte with brown/orange interior rolling slowly through today. The car was polished and looked absolutley stunning. It had that elegance that only british cars have and german cars dont, it was very handsome if I can call it that. The car does look better IRL than it does in pictures.

They are stunning looking cars. I've been visiting frequently at the exotic cars dealership lately and can't keep my eyes off these puppies. What is surprising though that the resale values don't seem to be very high though. For example I've been lead into temptation several times when I've looked at one particular 2002 Coupe for less than $43,000. But it's also the price that puts the doubts in my mind because I keep wondering: "Why is it so inexpensive?"
