Where are you shooting? (I mean yes canada, but where?) Greetings from Austria :)
*Spams truecar link*
I have a Ghibli GranSport with the carbon fibre paddles. And my fingers fit just fine between the steering wheel and paddles. 🤷🏻♂️😂
Those switches are about the same as Mercedes 🤷🏾♂️ actually a little better b/c on Mercedes without that little chrome piece it just a matter of time before you scratch the sticker.
This will be a strong contender for "Best Budget Sport Sedan under $10K" in two years.
It’s not a 350z
@@someguyprobably I know, it's a Maserati! They depreciate like crazy!
Probably like 30k
this isn't new. check the prices right now.
Not two years that’s literally not how it works properly 5 or more
Wow you got the maserati guy 😂😂
When we booked the car he magically just showed up.
The mating call of the Trofeo prompts the wild Maserati Guy to roost near a buy here pay here lot, where he will wait up to 3 years to find his mate
Lol
Excuse me? Do you not mean to say, "Doctor Maserati"? I understand the mistake. However you must understand, that following one's inclusion in a Straight Pipes Video, one is immediately conferred upon with the prestige & benefits of: Honorary Doctorate of Ghiblio-TicTocisism [in this particular case].
Not a fan. I thought I'd seen the last of this guy when he finally left my fyp.
You know you've been watching too many RUclips car reviews when you see a pricetag of $110k and think "Yeah, that's pretty reasonable."
That’s what they want you to get numb to. Buy a car that’s six figures and get yourself in horrible crippling debt with a car that statistically will not last until your loan is up.
And thinking that when you can't afford it.
@@markm0000 Don't blame people reviewing cars for others making poor financial decisions.
@@TD1237 There is literally no other reason to own this car as a financial asset other than to help you cut down on profit taxes. I guarantee you most of the rich guys buying these know they're going to depreciate harder than any new BMW they can find.
@@TD1237 The blame doesn't fall on the content producers, but the car manufacturers, for continuing to increase the price of vehicles based not on what people can afford to buy, but on what they can afford to finance. And I think that people are waking up to this fact based on the used car market going nuts right now.
Honestly the Trofeo line should be what Maserati have been selling from the start!
Agree - my pops has the v6 twin turbo. It doesn’t compare to his s8 (v8 twin turbo). This should be the Maserati starting point.
Didn't the Trofeo name come from Oldsmobile? The name was used as a trim level for the Toronado...???
@@dianeadkins-diorio1783 it means Trophy in Italian so I don’t think anybody can really “patent” it
I agree. The CT5 Blackwing with the sounds of the supercharged V8 + manual is a winning combination.
@@THESLlCK is the interior nice though? lol
Manual for life

To be fair to Doug on this one, the pre-facelift model really wasn’t the best from Maserati and it was disappointing. The facelift car (which is the one you’re driving) is way way waaaaaay better and a massive step up from the original car.
Even post facelift, it's a pretty bad car. The reality is it's based on a 20 year old Chrysler platform, Dodge switchgear, uncompetitive ride/handling balance, and horrid reliability. Ferrari engine is really the only thing it has going for it.
@@The_Stanman
This is a myth. It’s based on the M156 platform developed by Maserati and launched in 2013 for ONLY Maserati. The only cars based on this platform is the Quattroporte, Levante and Ghibli.
They were never bad cars in reality. Like it or not, people like cars that give you status and it gave plenty. On top of that, it destroyed the Germans when it came to design and engine sound (at least imo). And if someone hates Maserati because of reliability, then they should hate Alfa Romeos too (they're actually the 2nd least reliable brand but no-one ever wants to point that out). The fact is, people hate Maserati's because it's 'cool' to hate them, despite basically being practical, less-expensive, Ferrari's, only in saloon form.
@@jakommer that platform is just a tweaked Chrysler LX platform. FCA didn't have the capital to build an all-new platform.
@@The_Stanman Nope. The LX platform is a tweaked old, non modular, Mercedes platform.
The length of this video was enough to depreciate it by 20K.
😂😂😂
Why do they depreciate so fast?
@@youngboiskrrt4097 reliability
@@nationalwalker11 since 2015 they have really good reliability. My grandpa owns a sq4 and he is a sporty driver. He never ever had 1 single issue. Arround 80 000km droven and still really good.
@@youngboiskrrt4097 Maseratis history depreciate fast bc of the type of buyers, but the Ghibli set a new standard bc it was too much a Chrysler Bin special when it first came out plus I was not reliable in its first year.
I can't wait for this to be 60% off in 3 years!
80% off*
More like 80k off…the quality of this car is a joke…until they are owned by a reputable manufacturer…they should stop making Maserati daily cars…just focus on the super cars
In 1 year**
Even if you get it for 90% off, the repair bills will make this rolling piece of shit unaffordable. Worst car manufacturer in the world. Anyone that buys these is a sucker and a moron.
This is yet another lease-only European car, and most likely owned by someone who has other cars (probably Japanese) as well.
The day when they forgot their legendary test : visor test. Lived to see this. Nice addition after. Great jobs, lads!
Ghibli Trofeo? CT5-V Blackwing? Charger Hellcat? BMW M5? AMG E63s??
M5 forever
E63
I love all them except Maserati
Wagon any day
Maseratii
Maserati is how I imagine Ferrari's would be like if they were made in NJ.
Damn you didn’t have to go in on NJ like that lmao. I feel attacked lolol
That is so perfect
Holy shit yes
Maserati, Ferrari, Porsche, Pagani, Koeningsegg…. They all have in common that the have to be imported to the US, because they can’t built a decent car themselves… doesn’t keep them from burning down those brands, doesn’t it….
Maserati isn't a great value proposition new, but it is an awesome value used/certified.
Exactly, I'm hoping to pick up a used ghibli in a couple years
The Stellantis parts and overall ownership brought the cost of Maseratis down and ultimately put them in a new (lower) class of luxury vehicles. Traditionally, Maserati never competed with BMW or Mercedes (except for rare performance models), but more with Aston Martin and brands like Lancia. But, like a lot of these niche brands, it also meant Maserati was in perpetual financial trouble.
during the 80's the Pickle Fork brand was a joke as the Biturbo was a complete piece of junk and dissolved any previous brand equity
@@YYZ-SRQ Yup. Old boss had a new Biturbo and when he put the headlights on the windshield wipers activated. Great looking car, though, with a beautiful interior.
@@LearnAboutFlow fun fact: The Biturbo is number 28 in the BBC book Crap Cars and in 2007 was selected as 's worst car of 1984 by TIME mag, although they ranked the Chrysler TC by Maserati as a "greater ignominy".
Meh
They have been low level for a while
Haha! Glad you gave the Ghibli the fair review. Yes, this is the top trim but I think the Ghibli deserves a place alongside BMWs and other European cars. Ask any owner, we know it is not at the top of the performance segment but it’s an awesome car!
I had a 2015 Maserati Ghibli and it was one of my favorite cars I have ever owned, best sounding V6 engine IMO. Never had issues with the paddle shifter either. It was lacking a lot of tech for sure, but it put a smile on my face every time I drove it!
Still trash
Jeremy Clarkson was right you cant call yourself a true car enthusiast without loving the Alfa's and the Maserati. Those cars have something that the other brand doesnt have and that makes them beautiful.
100% agree with Yuri. The people who hate on Maserati's all the time are basically the same people who defend Tesla for literally everything. Just people trying really hard to be trendy...
100%
100k Chrysler with a Ferrari engine 🤡
I'm no Maserati guy, nor am I a Tesla guy. They're just not for me.
This is definitely a "lease until the warranty is up and get rid of it" type of car
All new cars are "lease until the warranty is up and get rid of it"

Ah yes, here' s your chance to own a financial mistake of your life.
Only if you buy on top of the depreciation curve
@@ABoringTool If you think that deprecation is bad, wait until it's 5 years old with 80.000 miles and you keep throwing money at it to keep it running.
@@ninezerofive it's a zf 8 speed and a tried and tested V8 from the various alfas and Ferrari's. I would be worried about some of the electrics and driver assist stuff but that doesn't matter that much.
Yolo!
@@ABoringTool Ferrai maintance is extremly expensive and as it has a Ferrari V8 you pay around 10.000€ (8.000 US$) every 10-15 (8-12k Miles) thousand kilometers.
9:55 Doug gave the Levante Trofeo a relatively good review, but he's dead-on about the non-trofeo cars. Maserati should've just been making Trofeo models of everything rather than cheapening.
Douuugggg

I have a non trofeo ghibli and I can say sure there’s some gripes but the car is amazing to drive and that’s all the matters to me
@@ajvillegas2107 Agree with this; whenever I see one at Enterprise or National I make a point of renting it unless they have a Polestar Two. (because as much as I like how it drives, not paying for gas at the end of a rental is even better)
@@dielaughing73 exactly.. all his owned cars are trash.. except maybe the ford gt
The best thing about buying a Maserati is getting one for $30,000 2 years later.
with atleast half of the windows working.
I have one, it is perfect for what it is. It is not a BMW. It is an exotic sedan.
That intro then the subtle Ferrari engine in sunglasses reflection 😤💯🔥 slick editing !
Maserati has absolutely the best emblem...the triton and best grill/front end
I'm really impressed with this Trofeo. Beautiful car and love that it's RWD only for proper dynamics. Love it. This with an aftermarket exhaust would be perfections. The Dodge parts used do not bother me at all considering they are Mercedes parts, ect. Tech is really nice and a huge improvement over what Alfa did
It already sounds great. No need to ruin it with a crappy aftermarket exhaust.
THE MASERATI GUY LMAOOOO
I agree with Doug that they aren’t good value. A $90k car turns into $30k after three years. I think buying a 3-4 year old Maserati with under 30k miles, at essentially a 60-70% discount is a good move.
I had thee EXACT same window controls in my 2010 town and country, the fact that it’s in a new Maserati is so funny
I genuinely considered a Ghibli for a short period of time. I was looking at Certified Pre Owned. With ~30k miles and 2-3 years old, plenty of cars to be found in the $30-40k price range. Now I don't know about you, but cars don't lose more half their value in 3 years if they're quality pieces! The only thing you'll ever see on forums are of two parties: "I owned it for 12 months and it was at the dealer for 11 of them." or "don't believe the haters, my car has never skipped a beat." I decided it wasn't worth the risk, but! now we see values up a bit, so Maserati bois gotta choose whether to hit big while they can or enjoy the wave and ride it till it hits the shore.
Many of these high end cars depreciate at an astonishingly rapid rate. The reason I own a SLK 250 was due to the fact that the three year old loaded one I purchased cost less that my wife’s new Accord EX-L, Also just price a Bentley Bentayga or other hyper expensive three year old model for some mind blowing deprciation.
@@derjaeger3321 the Ghibli (and basically every other current Maserati) has a much sharper depreciation curve than just about any other car in its class or price range. Bentleys are the next step up, both in terms of value loss and in terms of luxury.
@@SharpTurnStudios Yes but in terms of real cash, the Bentley depreciates the value of a small house in three years. I never considered Italian cars as a first choice buy anyway. Except now maybe for a Roma or Portofino. My eyes were always drawn to Stuttgart - even though an S class depreciates quite a bit too.
Same thoughts. Was considering one but the depreciation value and dealer visits. Wuff.
Honest opinion- we’ve owned maseratis for about 5 years and truly no complaints. The only minor flaws are the body roll and how it gets a bit squirrely when you enter into a corner at 115mph but outside of that is a very crisp and refined drive. A lot of the people who complain about the gearbox or the clutch are the same people who don’t know the car’s shift points and just slam the throttle to “slam the throttle,” if you drive it as a proper European sports sedan you’ll have the quality and longevity of a proper European sports sedan. If you drive it like a Dodge Charger then expect it to be in the shop every few hours. Hope this helps
The best car reviews are done by these 2 Canadian boys. 🇨🇦
mostly fluff reviews.
@@KPA78 1.4 million people like the "fluff reviews".
Yuri “the fluff” Tereshyn but for real anything that’s not savage geese with a car on a hoist and charts for audio is fluff
I love how angry Yuri got at Doug
Lol Doug's Maserati reviews are seriously biased anyways. You know how many cars suffer from the problems he pointed out only 100 times worse?
Great review!! It would be tough to pick between the Blackwing and the Ghibli. Blackwing for the manual and the Ghibli for the Italian-ness. The next Maserati review better be the MC20.
I'm with the maserati guy, he was livin rent free in the tiktok car community's head for a while lol
Gorgeous styling. Gorgeous colour. And that engine. Yes please. Always love seeing a Maserati when I get the chance on the road
I agree. All awesome. Let down, only by, the generic FCA/Stelantis interior.
@@dxbmick Loved the GranTurismo as well. I like some aspects of the interior. The instrument dials are nicely done
@@dxbmick The overall interior isn’t even that bad.
@@insayn7995 it's only bad compared to Mercedes and audi and BMW, compared to every other car it's an awesome interior.
Thank you for taking my advice and getting a ghibli on the show.(I know others said so too) I can tell y'all had fun.
Regardless of this car's original shortcomings, I absolutely loved its design from the start, would definitely own one of these facelift models.
“audi RS7” but shows the RS6 😆 a good midnight chuckle. Love the vid!
They did that on their last video, but GLC 63 instead of GLE 63 lol
Because we haven't reviewed those cars so they're the next closest
@@DzoniBiGud sheesh
@@TheStraightPipes ah fair enough. I’ve been outdated so my bad 😅
I have seen this Ghibli IRL and the blue is truely amazing. Video does not do it justice!
Every 60 seconds passes, a Maserati depreciated 2,000$
Same with a Range Rover. But those how drive them don’t care really. If money is an issue go get a Camry
What's your point
Every 30 seconds an old Audi depreciates $2,000
And BMW's V10 M5 was depreciation suicide.... And almost every single Italian made sports car under $100,000 depreciates the same way too
Just like with every other car company they'll have a car or mini cars depreciate in value like crazy.
If you're worried about it like Hugh T said... go buy a Camry then
@@teej5619 i had 2 Mazi’s over the last few years. Had a BMW 650i convertible as well. The 650i, drove 60k miles in 9 yrs. bought it for 95k. Sold it for 15k. Every luxury car and super car depreciates like a rock if you drive it.
@@hught6885its just what happens to them, you can either drive them and enjoy them or save them
**I'm glad you put a bunch of miles on your 650 cause it's such a beautiful car

One of the best sounding twin turbo V8s
I'll take the Alfa Giulia Quad with money left to visit Italy.:)
Jakob, the reason your hands graze the paddles is because you're resting your fingers on the buttons on the back of the wheel. If you hold the wheel by the rim, your hands won't graze the paddles.
Good thinkinh
i still miss the gran cabrio, good looking soft top that has usable rear seats
Love the chemistry ginger is the odd one and driver boy is his cool and calm sidekick who low key loves him
So I work at a Maserati dealership and got to drive a Ghibli Trofeo when they first came in beginning of the year. WOW was I surprised!!! The Trofeo is a completely different car than the standard Ghibli and it sounds fantastic! I honestly think for the price it's a good deal for the luxury and performance it offers. And I absolutely love that Italian leather it smells amazing and feels great. Doug did kinda ruin the Ghibli for many people, but he needs to drive a new Trofeo version. I can't wait until we get our MC20 within the next couple months!!!
No matter how many suvs come and how many buy them.. Sedans will remain the ultimate style statement.. and this car is proof for that.
This will look so good in black with red accents.
I LITERALLY SAW THE THUMBNAIL THINKING ABOUT THAT MASERATI GUY AND HES ON IT WTFF!!!!!
I love the idiots who talk trash about Maserati while they're driving around in VWs that they think is a Porsche 😅
we have an ocean of trolls on YT..it's INSANE! I try to skip past them..it gets tough on a vid like this with soooo effin many. & you may have over shot with many of them
..they dont have real life VW's, they have Forza cars :p
@@gzuzsavz Dude fr! I wonder how many of them are actually adults cus it kinda sounds like they copy and paste whatever Doug says without actually thinking, like children tend to do these days.
What does what people own matter in a discussion?
@@TD1237 Exactly. & all that, but as well..why click a vid to troll it? go click on a car or w.e you like and comm. something positive. /// Most veh. issues trace back to neglect & abuse, nowadays. & as cars/trucks are more & more sold as what would be extreme high performance, just 30..even 20 yrs ago, there is a reliability price IF..again, they are driven hard & not maintained right. ie stick to 'harsh duty' fluid replacement schedules & the like. Ya can't thrash a car & change oil using low grade stuff only every 7500 mi. Get top shelf oils/lubricants and change them more oft, ppl would be surprised at the difference.
Spot on!
I LOVE the way the infotainment screen and center vents are integrated within that polygon; most manufacturers really drop the ball regarding those screens (save Mercedes).
The Ghibili single handedly destroyed the Maserati brand. You can get one of these 10k at a salvage yard 😂

In Germany the cheapest one is 25k, 3.0 diesel.
Bmw 530d same year same milage u can get for 13k.
@@lukazupie7220 Depreciation my friend. A salvage 10k find means you will probably spend another 5-10k to get it back together tho. Still a huge drop from the 100k+ sticker
@Rama Nrusimhadevara buy cheap, fix n bamm u own a 50k+ car for about 20k or less. Thats the point on buying salvage. Or you can just wait till depreciation hits years later
@Rama Nrusimhadevara buy a 14 for 25k clean title with 60k miles. They are cheap depreciating whores
@Rama Nrusimhadevara everything is overpriced brand new. Just because they slapped a huge price tag on it doesn’t make it worth that much to me. Yes the warranty is voided but that’s expected since you’re shaving off a huge chunk off the price. Why wouldn’t any mechanic touch it if you are paying out of pocket? 🤔
Fyi. Buying Salvage is kind of like buying a rehab home, Its not for everybody. Fix it up , get it state inspected, get your rebuilt title and you’re good to go
Doug was 100% spot on. A lot of Chrysler junk in them, no way I would pay 110k for Dodge Charger parts.

@@OnPointFirearms not a fan of the reused Chrysler/Mazda buttons and icons?
@@deadlyapollo not a fan. Had a Ghibli as a loaner car. It sounded nice with the exhaust but the interior was Chrysler like you said. Handling sucked too. Not impressed.
….and the debt of the US will have grown with another zillion dollars….
10:30 Most people hate on Maserati because you're paying $80-100k to have cheap Chrysler 200 switches, knobs, stalks, and infotainment systems. What you touch every 5 minutes while in a vehicle like this should not be crap. I have heard, though, the next gen models will have nicer more luxurious interiors, fitting of the price point.
They're the same kinda plastics other luxury cars use, heck even Bentley has VW switches in their cars. The rest of the interior is leather-covered and luxurious af. The only valid complaint is reliability but other than that, they're great cars imo.
Most people hate Maserati’s because they can’t afford one….
@@TD1237 spot on
That mirror wobble when he closes the door.
My respect for showing the Maserati guy.📉📉📉📉
"what you never used a computer while driving before"
The rhetorical question every infotainment design executive asks his employees when deciding climate controls
I know a lot of people weren't fans of Maserati way before Tesla even existed. My friend's dad had a shop fixing exotics, and it was Maserati and Lotus filling the bays everyday for over two decades. It was the same cars coming back, that were hell to keep running. You couldn't give away the old Bi-Turbos, they were so difficult to live with. It's hard to argue that buying one new is likely the fastest way to lose money just driving off a lot, but of course car ownership has a lot more to it. These are much better cars than they used to be. I think they're a beautiful thing if you have the means.
The depreciation hit though.
I love Maserati's, but you're right. They never pencil out.
You buy cars as investment?
I ordered mine yesterday. Two reasons,
-Engine
-Exclusivity
Everyone has, bmw,merc,Audi and don’t want American, Porsche is over sticker so yeah.
I live in south Florida and people down here hate on Maserati so hard. Especially the people that can’t afford one.
As Yuri said, the same people who hate on anything that isn't a Tesla hate on Maserati. Ironic how they claim Maserati guys aren't real car guys.... everyone I know who hates Maserati's are hipsters who know nothing about cars but also don't have enough money to buy a car in the first place.
@@TD1237 One of my best friends had a Ghibli SQ4. Spent every day in it for a summer. For the price, it was a laughably terrible car. It was quick and made a good noise but handling was meh and the build quality was atrocious. The sun roof gasket fell out and flopped around in a 85k car. It's hipster to think you're rare for liking Maserati. They're currently a woeful brand.
Their family also had a GranTurismo Sport and the airbags didn't deploy when one of them crashed it. And that handled like shit too. Sounded better though.
Buy one and support that bin-fire ponzi scheme if you are so inclined.
The people that can't afford one? A person can get one for the same price as a Honda Accord Sport. 90% of the people driving Maserati's got them second hand for about $23k to $28k financed. The car was around $90k in 2016. Stop acting like it's a Bently or Maybach.
@@talkditingsdem5799 lmao did you just describe luxury car depreciation like it’s some sort of new concept that only applies to Maserati? We’re talking about new cars man. Theres plenty bentleys and maybachs on Autotrader right now for $20-$40k
@@milli2385 Obviously you forgot what you wrote. You said "the people that can't afford one", and I'm saying most of the people driving around in the Maserati's "that people can't afford" are driving the depreciated ones. Do you personally know anyone that bought a Ghibli brand new? At this point most Maserati's appeal to a certain demographic, should I say "the urban market" pretending to be ballers. All cars depreciates but that wasn't my point. My point is, Maserati's are affordable, so it's being hated on don't have nothing to do with it, it's a terrible reliability, poor build quality and the fact it shares the same parts of lower Fiat models.
Finally some love for the italians.

I am actually very thankful for Doug’s review. Imagine if he gave this a great review? I am not sure I could own one! Hahahah
Legendary intro.
I didn’t realize Maserati started putting TTV8s in their Ghibli now. No wonder the one I saw on the 401 kept up with my 500whp Stinger. Lol
Ugh I want a stinger. The mpg is so horrible though.
@@mitchellsteindler it depends how you drive it. For example, I drive conservatively to work and I get usually 6-7L/100km mostly highway. My best once was 5.8L which equates to 40.5MPG.
My Cayman's paddles are wheel mounted, but I measured them anyways and they are slightly less than an inch from the wheel.
Great review guys, well done.
My 2016 Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT has 35mm ( 1-3/8")from back of the wheel to the front of the paddle, ( Column-mounted); and my 2018 Jaguar F-Type SVR Convertible has only 28mm ( 15/16") but the outside edge of the paddles are set in 1cm from the inside edge of the steering wheel, ( Wheel-mounted). Lots of room on the Aston, rather close on the Jag.
Keep up the great work on the vids. Love the content!
Part of the reason I own that lovely Jag was your video on her...( She's the same colour Blue, too.)
Edit: your measurement from the camera angle looks a lot like 1-1/8" or 28mm... at the closest point, because the wheel "swells" a little behind the spoke.
Honestly, I’d rather have the CT5 Blackwing, cause that will actually make past 10k miles without the drivetrain completely failing
It's a stellantis product from Italy, what'd you expect

Great review! Knew this would be a fantastic car. Totally agree with your remarks on Doug haha. He made a lot of haters. But I am not one and still see the quality and where they are headed as a company.
We live in a time where people rather would own a charger than a Maserati. Hype is everything these days lol
That only goes for the US……
I think that Maserati would be the only car manufacturer who would be advertising an engine made by someone else as a selling point
Doesn’t the Mclaren f1 have a bmw engine
Alfa Romeo Giulia does the same. It's also not the first Ferrari powered Maserati
@@TheStraightPipes And Aston Martin these days with AMG Mercedes
Ram advertises their cummins turbo diesel engines which they do not make. Hundreds of other examples of this too. Maserati is certainly not the only car manufacturer that does this.
@@gasolinediesel972 It's a mutually beneficial arrangement. Especially as certain companies are linked
Yeah I’m having the m5 any day
That exhaust tho 😳
More things in life should be Ferrari-derived.
FIAT , Lancia , Maserati, Alfa Romeo.
Ferrari face masks?
When you guys mentioned competition, jacub says Audi RS 7, but shows a RS 6 wagon. Still , you guys are amazing 🥂
"Ferrari-derived"
It's literally the engine out of a 458 with a Maserati engine cover, it's even red under it!
😈😈
488 not 458, but yes it is the same they used in the portofino 488 etc .
Remember last time you didn't put the regular outro music?!?!?! Heads are gonna roll!!!
I'd think the Ghibli is more like a C-Class/3-series/A4 size wise competitor.
i think the ghibli size is A6/E-class/and maybe 5 or 7 series.
Omg absolutely awsome.... The maserati name is magical..... If I won the lottery this guy would be the first thing a buy..... Forget BMW, MERCEDES, and the like.... The Maserati name is just magical....... Awsome 👍
After watching ur last 2 videos with this Maserati and the Jaguar SVR, I think I'm starting to suffer from low self-esteem. Can you guys do a budget/ economy sedan review next ? Maybe a Kia Forte or something ? Along with my meditation and online counseling sessions, that would really help me feel better about myself. Thx ! Anyway, great video of this car. I think if I even walked to/into a Maserati dealership (yes kids I mean walked LITERALLY), they would think I was there hoping to use the bathroom. Also, as an FYI to the kiddies in the comments: if you are buying a $100k Maserati, you aren't worried about depreciation or long term reliability.
I think anyone who buys this particular example is getting a future classic. The Ferrari derived engine will see to that alone
Damn, I usually hate V8s.
But Ferrari know a trick or 2. Wow
My cousin had a Ghibli and he said it was super cheap on the inside. And recommend I did not get one. Beautiful car just needs better interior for that price point.
They literally just said it was recently refreshed.
@@thomasferrarojr.9772 no they did not, they are talking about the Trofeo model not the standard ghibli! And even that is not comparable to a 2021 Mercedes or BMW interior. It is on a Cadillac black series level. Still cheap
The distance from the steering wheel to the paddle is a consistent representation to the size of man parts that the people that drive these would have.
Circumference, diameter or length?
@@TheStraightPipes overall proportions for sure.
Imagine paying 6 figures for a Ghibli 🥴🥴
And for a trash interior.
Go back to your hyundai and pick up your gf
@@kurtjammer9568 okay pal will do 😂
U should do a Porsche Cayenne turbo gt it’s taking off everybody is talking of it!
Maserati takes the cup when it comes to exhaust sound, no offence to the AMG and Brabus team
Okay the fact that you got Josan on the video is awesome.
Who wants to race me in this Ghibli Trofeo?
She needs a titanium exhaust bro , thank me later.
😂
Don’t be mean to him
dont you drive a honda fit
Yuri drives a Honda Element and a prowler
