Green is beautiful:

Interior ain't that bad either, but I'll never get a beige dash. It'd be glaring and here in S'pore it will get discoloured because of the heat.

Titanium trim on the other hand, is hideous despite its name:

At one point Audi and Maserati were collaborating, then finances tanked, and Audi wanting to keep it's hands clean, cut their ties. Now imagine what such a joint venture could have done for Maserti interiors??? Especially the Quattroporte , which has an Audi gauge cluster(the one you find in the A8).

I would have preferred to have Maserati still designing their interiors, but perhaps Audi would have a hand in choosing the materials used, which would retain the character of the Italian flair in the interior as well as improving quality at the same time.

Nevertheless, the biggest lost on Maserati's part is losing the chance to adopt the dual-clutch gearbox from Audi.

Thanks for the pictures Marcus! I'll have some of my own soon...

I'll take an MC12 anyday, that has to be one of my favorite supercars.
