This page just popped up in the UK Daily Telegraph, quite interesting!

Ferrari-Fueled Maserati at $65,600 Lures Bored BMW Buyers - Bloomberg

Bored BMW buyer is right.

Take it from someone who owned an M3.

The Maserati is a much more alive.

I can't get over how cool this car looks. Not everyone has it so you feel unique, it isn't over designed so you don't look like a douchebag, and it is sporty while still having 4 doors so that it is practical. Definitely a substantial competitor to the BMW.

another bored M3 E93 owner switching to Maserati Ghibli

Pitchfork, I agree with you as an owner of Cabrio 2011 M3 for 2,5 years, It has been fun but not a great value for $80K. Not very exclusive with most of the 2000 units produced per year showing up in the bay area.

I am looking forward to a more emotional connection with the car and I believe the Maserati Ghibli will offer this experience. I need a four door car with twins on the way so would have to pass on the Grand Turismo for now.

If they get the durability and service solid and a competitive lease price, they will have a winner with the Ghibli and this should give Maser enough flow to finance the Stradale version of the Ghibli with 523 Twin-Turbo V8 from the Quattroporte which should move the 0-60 time to 4.2 seconds
