The car does look great in person, but the sound of that engine...velvet to the ears.  Congrats [wine]

this is true.  there are several quattroportes near my work.  they sound like they're redlining when they're just coming off idle and cruising down the street to a stop.  they sound magnificent!!

jasaretta, that's a nice car, but I gotta agree with Ash...Aston Martin makes the most beautiful cars in the world, IMO.

Right, but I think there's a price point here. That Maser can be had for quite a bit less than the Aston...

I heard they worked out some transmissions issues they were having.  I'd like to hear how it drives. 

Congrats!  [beer]

The transmission problems were in the 4 door (Quattroporte). The GT has a new transmission from ZF - it's great. Spent the weekend in a demo car. Great car. makes you feel special LOL.

No track for this one.- to and from the office and the weekend car.

Absolutely - I drove one last week. Great sound and very gorgeous. Shares too many parts with the ford mondeo for my liking.....and wasn't crazy about the handling. However a great car. Sound is unbelievable.

But I'm italian...and after the "must-have" boxes are ticked...i tend to buy what gets my blood going. That's how I bought the S4Rs too :)

Anyway - cant wait to get it and fat-arm my way around this city LOL
