End of the day it's still a big car and a "GT". Just because it has that stradale name it doesn't mean it's going to perform like a 360 even. It will sound great though. I like how it looks and it's a great GT. Alternative to the CL class in my opinion.

I wasnt going to say this but I just couldnt resist what was so profound about what you said that is exactly what Maserati intended it to be a large luxury Gt with more of an edge towards performance hence the name Gran Turisimo......which is much larger than the maserati coupe it replaces.......

I agree agent 63. The stradale makes me think of the 2004 Ferrari so it sounds old. It should not be compared to a Ferrari, even though they put the detuned Ferrari engine in it. It will sound great and look nice but for the money they are asking for a performance luxury coupe id walk past Maserati and get a Mercedes CL63 that is just as fast, looks to me just as good with a MUCH nicer interior.

Why are you complaining? They improved the car with no compromises. Nearly the ultimate in engineering. Not bad for being the tail of the fiat franchise.
