Women turned on by Maserati sound

Hiscox
Women turn on to a throbbing Maserati • The Register

Could this mean major boost for Maserati sales figures.

I think its aethetics are quite pleasing. I think it would have been better if they developed a new car instead of throwing a new shell on an enzo though.

Whoa that is a bold claim

Classic Ferrari's > Classic Maserati's (although both marques produced absolutely gorgeous looking/great cars)

Ok let's be controversial.

Ghibli > Daytona.

No argument from me. I don't really see the appeal of the Daytona's looks (or the Rovers SD1's) and the Ghibli is an amazing looking car. Not having driven either don't know about that, but in the looks dept. the Maser kills the Daytona.

Oh no! A challenge I can't pick up. I would have been very pleased to beat that claim, but unfortunately, I agree with you.

After all, the Ghibli was designed by an illustrious Giugiaro... not as prestigious as the Pininfarina house, but yet, Giugiaro's portfolio is not light on content.

Giugiaro was voted the best automotive designer of the 20th century.

The new Maseratis look a lot better than Ferraris. #1 proof being the GranTurismo.
