Fernando Alonso gets Maserati GranCabrio as Daily Driver

A Maserati GranCabrio for Fernando Alonso

The two-times Formula One World Champion Fernando Alonso, driver of Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, has “unveiled” in Fiorano the Maserati GranCabrio that he has selected.

The Spanish driver has chosen for the GranCabrio elegant fixtures, preferring a darker shade for the exterior in combination with two-tone upholstery for the interior. Grigio Granito is the colour of the body, while the interior has a combination of Pearl Beige and Bordeaux leather, matching a soft top of the same shade.

I read an interview of team mate Felipe Massa, he said he drives a 599 and 430 Scuderia but they were not given free to him by the team but he got a very good deal from them.
BTW another good reason for Alonso leaving Renault and joining Ferrari. What best Renault can give him?

Renault makes some awesome cars that we can only dream about here in the US. Stop the hate on Renault please.

I wonder if he finds the car boring, or does he find it thrilling because he's not backed by the performance of his F1 racecar?

I am indeed happy that asshole Alonso was not given a Ferrari by the company, but had to pay for it, and instead was given an also-ran Maserati as a gift. I hope they take it back when he starts to bitch like he always does.

@JUGNU: By extension of their ownership of Nissan, Renault builds the GT-R. Class-wise, it's not in the same league as a Ferrari, but it can and will hold its own on a track.

If Toyota Stayed in F1 he could have gotten an LF-A!
