Am I the only person here who finds this car to be less than attractive?

I will agree that it doesn't have the classic beauty, but the GranTurismo is arguably worse. And anyway, the V8, italian detailing... it has character. Few (if any) can match it in its class.

Yes, the GranTurismo is worse, in my opinion. However, character, a V8, and Italian detailing don't do enough for it to live up to Maseratis of old. I'd just expect more.

I agree with you. But would you rather buy a BMW 760i? I wouldn't.

No, but I'm sure I could make do with a Jaguar XJR.

It was my other option... until they made it look like a Hyundai...

Flat Out
i disagree with you all... i think the QP is one of the finest full size luxury cars. the nose is a bit weird initially, but now that ive seen a dozen of them, i think they are stunning. the rear end is even better. it looks like its a sports car that just happend to sprout 2 extra doors. and it has the performance of a sports car to boot.
Honor. Courage. Commitment. Etcetera.
Enthusiast
Yeah. That's pretty much the angle that I'd have gone for. I think that anyone that is dismissive of the QP probably hasn't seen one in the flesh.
There's one just around the corner from me which I usually go past on my run thrice-weekly run. It makes me run funny.

i agree, plus it makes a nice diversion from the usual tasteless mercedes and BMW's going about.

As I am the one dismissing it, specifically its looks, I'll take the opportunity to say that I have seen one. I was in West Palm Beach Florida at the time. I still don't think it's a good looking car. I don't doubt that it is an excellent car, however, to me, it will always be an ugly car. So your theory is quite incorrect.
It is only my opinion, however. Not everyone is going to find attractive what you find attractive.

Photos do not do the Quattroporte justice, but it is still not what I would call a beautiful car- it reminds me of a guppy from some angles (yes, I have seen one in real life), but then it looks like a snoozing cat from others- weird.
I prefer the true classical beauty of the Maserati GranSport based on the 4200. That is a beautiful car, particularly in black or navy blue.
