I’m tired of the media/journalist bias against Italian cars. Overall length and wheelbase are longer than Stelvio. It is not smaller than a Stelvio. 2024 has updated steering wheel and adaptive headlights compared with the 2023. $140k? You waited several minutes to tell the viewer it was largely because of the limited edition paint. Grecale trofeo starts around $110k. And good luck getting the new X3M for less than $100k with the options you actually want. Ride quality of grecale with air suspension is miles better than X3M. Let’s not pretend that Maserati is unique in more screens and fewer buttons. Everyone is doing it. You will find cheap piano black in a $120k Mercedes now. Grecale exterior doesn’t have flair? And an X3 that looks the same for 15 years has flair? You’re not getting a lot of soul from the interior? Every BMW from the base 2 series to the $150k+ BMWs have the same steering wheel. Is that exciting? To your notes about body roll and handling dynamics for a “compact crossover” (almost as big as a Cayenne) Reputable journalists have said the following: - “A 911 T could barely keep up with me” - “The cornering pace is extremely high” - “I’m almost forgetting I’m in an SUV”
Thank you for pointing this out! Its like they are paid to hate on anything not BMW, Mercedes or Audi! They are killing brands with their bias and the joke is Maserati have actually created the most superior SUV since the Macan which doesn’t have any where near the tech compared to the Grecale but because its german they claim it to be a better car! Forgetting its an old platform that doesn’t even have HUD. The same journalist say the Levante is old tech and to skip it, its so obviously bias against anything not German.

Well said
Spot on. The inflation of YT car journalists makes them increasingly parroting each other.
My thoughts are my own 🤷♂️. Sorry if they don’t agree with other journalists. You’re right about the Stelvio though, I misspoke.

Def not a videographer here, but is there a way for you to show the infotainment, climate, etc. screen(s) head on as you’re reviewing them?
