Maserati in Press and in Public

Quotes

“The sleek, ground-hugging, limo-sized four-door saloon with a supercar badge and authentic multi-cylinder soundtrack was honed to something approaching pitch perfection by Maserati with the Quattroporte years ago.... The QP has settled so snugly into the uber-sporty limo groove, it virtually owns the copyright.... But Maserati hasn’t grown complacent. Year-on-year, the formula is finessed with the aim to sharpen driver appeal at minimal cost to comfort, and 2009 is no different.”
