Ghibli -- mediocre??
..."the Ghibli is second best in too many areas. The car’s ride, refinement and ease of use are all notable for their mediocrity - and the diesel lags behind its rivals in terms of performance, too.
The result is not a poor car. It still charms and it’s the most rounded Maserati ever created. But the sense it leaves is not of how good it is, but of how much better it could and should have been."
All I have to say is "Real Ghibli drivers are from Mars; critics are from Venus." In other words, these critics need to man up and learn what a real driver's car is all about.
"Rivals like the BMW 5-series, Jaguar XF and Mercedes-Benz CLS remains the more preferable option - for now." Wrong, wrong, wrong: I have a 2012 CLS 550 and it doesn't hold a candle to the SQ 4 in terms of driving enjoyment and excitement. My wife loves the CLS but I feel too disconnected when driving it.
