      It's not illegal to touch your phone if it is in a holder. The reasoning being that it will be mounted high enough that you can still see the road. Which you can't if it is in your lap or you are holding it low. Plus in the event of needing to do something quickly while driving, most people won't instinctively drop their phone and grab the steering.
      But there were always distractions. In the 90's the Blaupunkt stereos had a million tiny buttons and car companies often put the stereo head well below the level of the windscreen. We coped with that. And now we cope with big screens. But all that said, i do agree with you - i only interact with my tesla screen after turning on the self driving cos you can easily spend 10 secs dealing with the screen and not looking at the road.

I simply can't see what this brings to the party over that vehicle a decade on, apart from a ludicrous price tag and absurd technology that almost nobody really wants.

      The previous GT V8 is still one of the greatest looking and sounding cars of all time for around 100K. It wasn't rare but somehow, every time, it still looked and felt special. Stellantis didn't have to do much to fiddle with and make a winning formula of that car but they got EV pilled and fumbled.

    Harry, your video on the 4.7L GT was the reason I bought my 2018 and I still enjoy it to this day. Your take is balanced and spot-on - no sensationalist clickbait-y arguments for the sake of views and engagement. I have been contemplating swapping mine for a 2024 but have found the price a little too high for a larger volume (no longer hand-built in the Modena factory) car sharing that much with the Grecale/Giulia etc. Maybe when the price dips below $100k on a two-year-old CPO...

    This new one seems to be more of the same and then some. Pity they incorporated everything into the head unit, and shame it’s no longer a V8, but I’s still have one over anything else at that price point, and to hell with the depreciation.

      The F-Type coupe is such a pretty car, too.
      While this is a good looking car, IMO, and very much so in the context of the times, I think modern cars are overly aggressive at the expense of grace. The Roma is arguably the exception, and rumoured to have been the original design to replace the ageing first gen GranTurismo.
      Moreover, most people who buy these new are surely 50+, yet the looks seem designed to impress a much younger generation. The original GranTurismo is a classy car with attitude, whereas IMO this has lost some of that -- although many buyers of used GranTurismos have given them a bit of a yobbish image.
      I'd like to thing of myself as a young 60, but I'm not sure I like the image this portrays, and that screen is also OTT. Although that expensive metallic red paint really pops, maybe a more subdued colour suits the car better.
      Anyway, IMO the F-Type coupe has a classy look to rival the original GranTurismo. The interior is okay, too, but the engine tech is a bit crude, and IMO lets the F-Type down a touch. Then again, for the money maybe I shouldn't complain. It's a very compelling car used and was also very compelling new. And as you say, it was offered with a manual gearbox, although very few people chose it. Nonetheless, a manual F-Type is probably one of those cars to keep long-term.

    • @JWL-UK
      @JWL-UK 14 дней назад +1

      @nigel.w appreciate your views on both cars. I can't stand modern cars with everything touchscreen which is one of reasons that I got drawn to the F-type in Caldera Red. That and the gearbox. It's a sublime experience for those who know how to make the most of manual shifting. Depreciation allowed me buy a 2018 model year at the age of 41 and at under £30K. I've had it for a year. It's my daily but looked after and gets cleaned twice a week 😊.

And i suspect that the poor sales at Maserati proof that most people think the same. Should have went on and compete with an iconic brand and great cars against the likes of Mercedes and BMW.

      Even though the car is better in literally ever other respect? I miss the V8 as well, but this is a better Maserati.

      ​@@flyingphoenix113a diesel BMW 5 series estate is technically a better car than any maserati granturismo. It doesnt make it a better toy though. Yes the new one is quicker and more modern inside, but it's lacking the character of the old V8 model. Which was one of the key selling points.

      These new cars are but a pale reflection of the old and glorious predecessors and to say they are better is nonsense. Driving the 2011 MC I consider it to be and many other petrol heads to be the greatest Granturismo ever, nothing else has come close.

      @@CAR_NL it certainly isn't 2012 anymore, which is a shame for the enthusiast's market.
