This is an amazing car and was a classic the minute it came out. All the idiots that criticized it for it's 'analog' dash and etc don't know shit and will never understand.. Most German cars are full of tech and being thrown like junk just after a few years. That doesn't happen with Italian cars, even the simple ones,.. It's in them , the character , their line , their soul , from their simplest buttons. Tech will never replace soul or style.
I’ll miss this V8. But I definitely love how Maserati is heading into a new era. You can definitely see the difference between then and now! Still a drop dead gorgeous vehicle
I drove my brother-in-law’s Gran Cabrio on my 50th birthday and it was a Red Letter Day for me…then he traded it in for an X7 because it “didn’t have enough tech…” WHAT..?!? (Sorry, Bro…you missed the whole plot…)
It is the most affordable Ferrari you can buy if you just want a GT and don’t care about badging. I have heard maintenance is crazy, but I still consider trading the 911 in on one for a fun weekend sun car.
Ron. You need to go out and get another one they are becoming more rare, especially the 05/06 gransport spyder, it's the Last of the 2 seat V8 maserati. Every modern maserati is now V6.
From Masi to Korea...can u afford an Alfa or is it economically impossible? We are all dreamers at this point of time...how down are you on this? ...Im just dreaming since the horses don go my way...If money come mos def Alfa Romeo...for me...? Blind Alfaholic just because...the LOVE of the brand u know, we are fanatic on this! I'd drive any car if they let me... with money only Alfa Romeo.
I feel like Alfa is a pretty affordable brand for the most part. Low running cost, decent warranty and maintenance isnt too high. Thats just my opinion.
@@RonsRides YOU are my nro uno of Alfa news in the States...in English! The rest of us understand shit in Italian so keep it up...u fast. This affording stuff is on the most of us...jus love the exclusivity not being on every poster, most sold car...not Alfa Romeo. All about the heart in between. U take youre Guts to the buy...Its part of being...In the club...fiddy n me ref
Gorgeous exterior. That interior though. What a mess, especially with only 18K miles. What will it look like at 50K? No, I would pass on this regardless of price. IMO, you really have to want that engine to pay 80K for this car.
@@RonsRides I can understand that. However, since this is a GT car, my standards for interior quality are much higher. I'm willing to compromise on a more sports-oriented vehicle.

Oh yeah Masi is killing the new era they are heading end. Just appreciating the past as well. Glad we grew up in this era.

You can always use the back seats also for storage also. Thanks for doing this video today Ron. I always liked this car a lot.
Good call! And of course John, anytime I can get around these cars I will!
@@RonsRides me too
I think the SMART MONEY will buy these on the DIP…these Gran Cabrios are sure to become future classics; wait for the right one, then POUNCE..!!

You got it, thats the big seller, affordable Ferrari engine!
I have one.Maintenance is not bad at all and its very easy to fix by yourself or at a non dealer mechanic
Is this the MC Stradale Gran Cabrio or is it just the S? The MC Stradale Gran Cabrio is my dream cabrio
SIMPLY 🥲 BEAUTIFUL CAR

I loved that car.
Such a timeless machine!

For me its not idea but its also not a deal breaker.
