I feel bad for Maserati Quattroporte owners....
Anyone else think they look like Buicks from a distance and form the side? I can really see a grandapa drivign this fine vehicle. |

Just wait till he jumps on the throttle as he pulls away. You'll be able to hear the un-Buickness.

I'll tell you what. It's his/her problem for spending that much money. Maserati's are nice but for that much money I could find something much better I bet.

Uhh..... Regardless of how it looks, its still a Maserati.......and not a buick. I personally have never had ur issue of confusing it with buicks at all. And having rided in one, there absolutely no mistaking it for some POS GM crap. U have that wail coming from the Ferrari V8 the whole time, and the interior smells of actual fine Italian cow hides, not some bull**** fake pleather they put in buicks. It also happens to be my favorite lux sedan, cuz its a maserati, and its much more exclusive than normal BMWs and Benzs.
I love Maser QPs, and theyre much more sleek and beautiful than anything Buick has ever, or will ever make.......and alot faster too. |

the QP is the whole package. Its not the fastest, the best on gas, or the most reliable. But it not everyone has one like they do an S class or a 7 series or an LS460. they have that italian style and flare, the exhaust note is amazing (much better than any of the germans) and u have a much prettier car in my opinion as well. so over all, id take this for sure over any of the normal big lux cars. And id have a big decision to make b/w a QP and a Panamera Turbo. |

And ndubz idk where you live but Maserati's around my area are just as common as 7 series and benz's.

god damnit. note the time people. im agreeing with Ndubz, though not as vehemently. if you ever have the chance to drive a quattraporte vs other cars in that price range, its a whole lot more engaging. i think its better to look at too

I see them around my area, but id say theyre as common as the BMWs and Benz's in the same price range (the S600 and AMGs, and the 760li, etc) but I see a ****load more 750s and S550s than I do maseratis. A guy in the neighborhood next to me has one and theres a few more around town, but i wouldnt say their as common as the normal german lux cars at all.

the only thing buick about it is the photoshopped buick badge.

Look at the Buick Lucerene. Similar roof line. Similar window shapes for the windows on the sides, similar 10 spoke wheels, port holes on the fenders. Imagine that you are looking at it with two gas pumps between you and the car and it does look a lot like a Buick. I'm not saying it sounds or handles or drives like a buick, but it does have a lot of simialr styling. The car was already there when I pulled in and I left before it did, so I didn't hear it. When you are looking at the car through several gas pumps across a gas station it does look rather Buick like. |

I've seen a few of these on 295 - ACEx and specifically there is always a blue one that gets on about rancocas/38 area.
The only thing it shares with the Buick is the sedan and port holes. I try to rub it out to the blue one, but that dam construction below haddonfield screws things all up. Would I buy one if I could? I would definitely test drive it.
