Thanks...Drive is very similar between the two.
RCF i had was equipped with Performance package (TVD, Carbon )

Although, after driving GSF through some twisties....it does feel more planted.

Some journalists have claimed the GSF is a tad more balanced than the RCF. Seems like you concur.

Feels more confident around the turns for sure...Overall good package, can't complain..not to mention GSF has few more features (Heads up display, Auto power folding mirrors, Auto ebrake)...Extra doors and nice appointed interior (Alcantara dash (top))

The sticker on the car was $87k and some change, essentially gave me about $16k off sticker to close the deal. (basically to cover some of the negative equity between pay off and value of the Ghibli). Will look up actual numbers and post soon

Wow great Deal for East coast! Was this on Lease or Buy? i am sure they will soak up some of $$$ on your trade.

I just did the same thing. Wasn't planning on getting the GSF but the interior and stereo sold me after I test drove. The Ghibli was one of my favorite cars and the sound unmatchable, but sorely lacking in the interior. The engine started to be a bit tempermental after 10k miles (2014) as well. The GSF sound wasnt bad!!.

My dealership experience was pretty marginal and am still waiting for the car. Will post a pic when I finally get it...

There she is. Turned in my Maserati Ghibli with remorse/ What the %$#^ was I thinking. This GSF is so superior its not even funny. Yes maybe I like the Italian swoop and the *somewhat* louder rumble a touch better, but the rest of the Maserati was indeed a Fiat compared to this.

You can also use your key fob also.. push the lock button three times. On the third time hold the lock button down 5-10 seconds.. The car will then flash it's blinkers and the car will start. To turn off the engine push the unlock button or open the car door. Enjoy...
