Kind of a oxymoron isn't that ^^ It's also true so...
[QUOTE=AD/HD;52438555]That looks dope imo[/QUOTE] 'Dope' should never be a way to describe a Maserati. But the only way to describe that Liberty Walk Maserati is awful and tasteless. I have no idea why someone would take a GranTurismo of all cars, and do that to it.

And if the only/major factor you look at in a Maserati is its performance, then you're not the kind of person who would ever be interested in a Maserati anyways. They aren't about 0-60, quarter mile or Nurburgring lap times. But they aren't even that slow anyways. Not Ferrari fast, but if you wanted that, you'd get a Ferrari.

And no, not the American idea of luxury being a cheap and nasty Cadillac. The Maserati GranTurismo is in no way a competitor for the Mustang, Camaro or Challenger. It instead competes with the likes of the Aston Vanquish, Jag F-TYPE, AMG GT and BMW 6 series; luxury sports cars and grand tourers. No one buys a Maserati for 0-60 times. That's not what it's about. It's about Italian flair, status, elegance, driving pleasure and luxury; expensive taste. Hell, leather isn't good enough for Maserati, so they use silk instead. That's the kind of car that a Maserati is. [editline]7th July 2017[/editline] Also some would argue that Maserati V8s (really just Ferrari V8s with crossplane cranks these days, but still) are the most beautiful-sounding V8s ever made. [editline]7th July 2017[/editline] Honestly I reckon that 0-60 times being a major factor in someone choosing one car over another is incredibly childish. You can pull away from the lights faster, so what. You'll look like a wanker by doing it, and fast 0-60 times do not necessarily make for a more-pleasant driving experience. That's why the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce is my realistic dream car, not a boy racer's Ford Focus RS.

[/QUOTE] top speeds are even dumber lmao Honestly fuck supercars like lambos and all that because all they are are status symbols. They're not comfortable to ride, they're low to the ground so they're both a pain in the ass to get in and out of, you can't see shit out of them because every tiny hatchback still manage to have better visibility, you can't use it for anything other than driving. Ridiculously expensive insurance and repairs, you'd be paranoid of parking in parking lots. They're fast but that's pointless because of speed limits. it's just a whole lot of unnecessary stress. [editline]7th July 2017[/editline] Even if you were rich you could buy a status symbol car that actually has some use, like the granturismo, or a rangerover or some shit like that.

Also on your comment on Cadillacs, fuck you, what do you think when you see someone drive by in a Prius.

If I was ever rich enough to buy one, that would be half of the reason for getting it. Maseratis have plenty to show for it though; they look fabulous, they are properly luxurious, and are rather fast (not that speed matters though, because it doesn't). Difference between say a Maserati and a Cadillac is that a (new) Maserati is a car for millionaires, while a Cadillac is a car for people who pretend or wish to be millionaires. The former is a proper aristocrat's car, made without an awful amount of concern for cost. But also the thing about Cadillacs is that American makers just don't understand luxury. Cadillac has certainly improved over the past few years, but they are still far from Aston, Jaguar, Maserati or Mercedes, and very far from Rolls-Royce or Mercedes-Maybach. I don't know why you feel personally insulted by that statement on Cadillacs lol. I don't get your comment about the Prius. I don't think anything when I see a Prius; I'm indifferent. Nothing wrong with them, but not high up in my list of favourites either.

[QUOTE=AD/HD;52451485]singer does kinda what amg does right? like take stock porshes and modify them on a large scale?[/QUOTE] More of a coach builder than a tuner really. They restore First Gen 911 / 912, but with bespoke handcrafted parts which effectively makes them the Rolls Royce of sports cars. The parts they make are modern but a esthetically made to look like the original parts, like the reproduction Recaro seats which are fully electric but looks exactly like the original. One of the cars (I forgot which) even has the Porsche logo milled (not plated but milled) out of gold. Also they cost like almost $200,000 minimum.
^^ That sounds fucking cool, seems a bit pricy tho, I'm sure you could get very similar work done at a custom shop for about $50K less, but still, I can defiantly see the appeal.

[QUOTE=AD/HD;52453667] [editline]10th July 2017[/editline] That would make a great sleeper[/QUOTE] If you want a sleeper go for the T-Type instead of the GNX. It's the exact same car but without the black appearance package, so it's just a normal brown grannie's car, but actually has the guts to go against sports cars. Plus they're way cheaper.
