Am i the only one feeling a little off with Masrati lowering their brand's entry point?
Kind of like dilution, if you ask me.
The Ghibli looks ok, it is definately not as pretty as the QP.
Well that is if you consider it some kind of exotic super brand which it isn't and haven't been for well over three decades. They've been kind of lost, didn't have any good cars and that's including todays line up as well so I really hope this cars kick start their venture into luxury segment as alternative to Jaguar or MB.

Yeah, but that's Fiat's fault. The California was supposed to be a Maserati.
It's clear Fiat is and has been pushing Maserati downmarket.
I'm not sure this strategy will work out long term. Sometimes companies and their brands have to accept having a niche market and do their best catering to it.

Maser may not be as ultra expensive as a Ferrari or Bentley, but it is still out of reach of most of the population that buys into Lexus, MB, and BMW. I mean i find it hard to believe someone will cross shop a 6/SC/Sl with a Maserati GT. The high performance versions of the mainstream luxuries may be cross shopped, but again that is a small group comparatively. Same issue with a 7/S/LS vs. QP.
Thus Maserati's status is at a slightly higher level. Agreed?
And i do not know about you, but other than the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, I do not know of any company that offers a head to head with Maserati in terms of form/price bracket.
Not digging the interior at all, it looks plain and not really upscale at all, this car will most likely carry a pretty hefty premium over the average mid level luxury sedan. That interior design looks like it could be on a entry level small sedan or mid level SUV. Exterior is nice. I have read the new Quattroporte interior has taken a stop down in quality and is using much more cheap Chrysler parts, I am not a fan of its interior design either but the exterior looks pretty nice.
