RUMOR: Is A Maserati Aimed To Take Down The Jag XFR What You Want?

According to sources on the internet, which have debatable credit, it sounds like Maserati may be considering building a smaller sedan in order to compete with the likes of the Jaguar XFR, BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG.

Not only is that some pretty stiff competition, we can't exactly figure out why the company would see this as a worthwhile venture.

Is THIS the car Maserati should be making or would it be better off making something else?


Maserati will launch a new sub-Quattroporte four-door saloon in autumn next year, pitched as a competitor to the BMW M5, the Mercedes E63 AMG and the Jaguar XFR.

The long-rumoured sports saloon will be the fourth model in the Maserati range, joining the Granturismo sports car, the Grancabrio open-top GT and the Quattroporte large sports saloon...

im sure the bmw m5 will be better, faster, cheaper , easier to maintain and have better resale value...
i think its sad to see so many quattroportes on ebay for 45,000... reliability sucks.. they should offer at least 3 years free maintanence like bmw if they really want to compete.

This is actually not a rumor. As Maserati diclosed that they are building a car to compete with the BMW M5. Since the E60 M5 is out of production and the upcoming F10 M5 is close to being shown, the car they would have to base it's performance on is the discontinued E60 M5. This car will be out next fall. We will see.
