@@grantdillon1083 Exactly, and at 130k USD, when you're competing with the king Daddy of luxury vehicles (the mighty Mercedes S-Class) that's a problem.
Sure till it breaks which it will. I'm sure they have gotten better with reliability but for what you pay for that shouldn't even be a worry but like most exotic cars there super fragile.
I agree. Don't see the value in this. It looks generic and bland. Apart from the front grille, it looks like a slightly larger Accord or Camry. And the interior is just so bland and ordinary and outdated looking. It's the cheapest looking interior by far for any car in this price range.
Wow the storage in this machine. Nice way of showing it Chris, very well detailed walk around. I don't have any complaints concerning the length of the walk around. We needed that.
I drove these Maserati’s at the car auction all the time and they were the most fun and easy car to drive in a parking lot. Especially with the performance exhaust you can get the sweetest pops and crackles
More than half the comments are just people parroting the same extremely negative, exaggerated BS, over and over just because they heard someone else say it.
Just started watching you ma brotha! Honestly never enjoyed a car ride so much before but it was amazing and you go into detail about everything on the car! Keep it up man
Beautiful car. If you want something flashier than the standard fare Mercedes, Audis, or BMWs but you still need the ability to carry passengers, you can't do much better than this. Love Maseratis. :)
Maserati did try their best to upgrade. And they did a good job too, the interior and features look SO much better than just a few years ago, I think the inside looks beautiful. I don’t think they did well enough, however. This thing shouldn’t be as expensive as it is, it’s way overpriced. It should probably be closer to the $65,000 range, MAYBE $90,000 super fully loaded. That being said, it still does look GORGEOUS inside and out. This thing would do very well if it was just priced appropriately.
Well, italian cars may not be the best in term of luxury, updated infotainment and construction quality, but the pleasure of driving that italian cars give is incomparable, thanks to incredible engines and incredible mechanical work. In these terms, these cars kill the competition
I agree with your undertone...I fine I connect with a/the car through the driving experience. I only want the tech to aid in that experience and not detract from it. I just want to get in, click/adjust/touch the controls(tech) then drive which hopefully during my journey would lead to an enormous smile on my face.
At that price point, I would expect a bit more to be in this car. Just a few things to name: a fully digital gauge cluster, less plastic buttons, a more refined infotainment system, etc.
footballcoreano yea I’ll tell you deferent story . I’ve Heard from old people that back in the 70s Honda engineers Was stealing ideas from students from universities in the USA . Don’t know if it’s true but I heard many times and from many old people
I absolutely love Maserati and the thrill of driving them! But nothing stands out more than "MASERATI" with all the logos and emblems they put in your face it's wayyyyy to many. 2 on the front, 7 in the in front interior, on all 4 of the doors bottom entry, and 2 on both c pillars, and of course MASERATI on the back. So you'll always know what you're driving, they wouldn't want you to forget.
They need to throw everything this car has chassis and interior features wise into the body of 300. Use the pentastar as the base engine, this as the C, 392 for srt and the 6.2 supercharged for a hellcat. Hey man if FCA is watching i am open to being hired!
Is the tech cutting edge? Are all of the interior materials worthy of the $127k price tag? Is it assembled with Lexus precision? No. But I don’t think any of those shortcomings are so egregiously offensive to be deal breakers. And this has something no other full-size sedan has to the same degree - personality. In terms of sheer fun factor out on the road, only the Jag XJ and maybe the AMG S63 come close. I think I’d actually be quite tempted by a Quattroporte if I was looking for a full-size sedan since I’m more about the driving experience than features and tech. But I’d definitely get one certified pre-owned and with an extended warranty, ofc.
How could Maserati make any money on this? Who’s going to buy this new? It’s a sedan without a middle seat. It’s more money than an S class or a Lexus GS, and it doesn’t have any tech to make up for it. The only way I can think of someone buying this is for the Ferrari engine. Otherwise the only drivers of this vehicle are going to be people leasing it.
This thing honestly looks good on the outside...and that's about it. On closer inspection, there are multiple panel gaps, the interior is outdated, the performance is lackluster. A 2020 CLA 45AMG outperforms this thing at around $50k, much more modern interior. Believe it or not, there are usually huge discounts on these cars, no one ever pays full MSRP for these at all. Even after negotiating to $90k from $130k, it's still overpriced for what it brings to the table. Maybe if this was $65-$70k, then that's a more realistic price.
I will say this looks very subtle for a Maserati. I see alot of Fiat styling in the front. Did the BRZ sell? Every time I see your thumbnail I mean to ask.
A8 is a trash VW.. pretty much the only luxury cars that are worth it to own is Lexus. Otherwise if you choose any German car they fall apart and are worth 20% of what they were when they were new in 3-4 years
Anthony Burke same with our Skoda, (Cheaper variant of Volkswagen) It’s very reliable and commonly used for long distanced as it gets all the luxury for low amount. We got ours when the car was 4 year old and 75k km. It already lost 50% of the value...
I think you really should do a POV Review on the 3.0TT Cadillac CT6...I just saw that about 3 years ago you did a POV Review on the 2.0T base model and thought you should do one for the "Top of the Line" Platinum with the 3.0TT V6
You know, this is a great car but when it is compared the competition, it just isnt enough... If Maserati replaced all the buttons with metal switch gear, I think it would make a world of difference!
@footballcoreano Lexus is better than any luxury car in the world, Better than Benz and BMW for sure and those are better than Maserati who uses parts from dodge lol what a joke to say Maserati is better than Toyota/Lexus the most reliable car company on the planet vs. the least reliable most garbage.
@@anthonyb2990 Toyota doesn't make reliable cars anymore cuz Toyota's rust like crazy cuz they use cheap metal their Interiors or basic the Supra engine was made by BMW I'm not a big fan Toyota I prefer Honda
___ I said better, not more luxurious. Function of the interior is also a main part as well if you consider that you are buying a car, not a luxury item that happens to be a car. I mean if you actually spend some time with it, geez man that canter screen man, and that gear shifter try to shift quickly from drive to reverse, impossible to do. The car does sound good, I give it that much.
I'll be honest, back in the day the name brand was burned into my mind and I thought it was something to get if you had money. Now I can afford it, but looking deeper into it... ehhhhhhh.
Wonder if its heavily overly complicated to work on.....once out of warranty.....I will buy it second hand and if the owner is like me it will be only wear in the driver seat area...
So much hate on this car and Maserati. Sure, they are asking a lot of $ for what it is but most don't buy these and are reasonable on the used car market after leases expire. You get something its competitors don't offer, a car with soul, style and personality. Maserati has also improved quality over the years. They are not Lexus but they are getting better.
Overpriced sure, but its still a beautiful car, id wait 2-3 years and snag one for fairly cheap, if you can do most of the maintenance yourself these cars aren't that expensive to own.
I thought this car would MRSP at around 80k and then I looked at the price and was mindblown. I don't understand how Maserati can offer a car like this at such an outrageous price.
This is the nicest trim level of the Chrysler 300 I've ever seen. Really nice job.

I think what's most impressive about this vehicle is the 8 speed automatic with manual mode, the simple infotainment and the trunk space.
Maserati has so much visual potential-- really distinctive design language. But instead we get the rear end of a 5 year old Kia Cadenza
I can see the depreciation through this video 😬

I don’t love where Maserati is headed- seemingly, all it is is a performance luxury Chrysler.
The interior definitely needs updating. It looks like it’s from 2013
That *manually* opening sunroof just embarrassed the $130,000 price tag
