martin, i know the episode of 5th gear you are talking about and that was filmed about 4 years ago! in red neck terms that is like baseing the current falcon on an AU you drove when they were new, come to think of it ford probably still do have some new ones parked on the grass at broady!!!!

Martin,

Anyone who spells lovely like this “loverly” should not be talking about Maserati’s and Daewoo’s. He should be talking about just Daewoo’s……

I’m not a real maserati fan, but I love the Quattroporte, a beautiful car.

Martin, Maserati has since replaced the dismal original gearboxes with proper automatics and they are excellent. If you get the right one, it is a wonderful supercar and it’s not really meant to be a limousine anyway. The side vents fit the car very well and certainly do not look tacky, they look right.

Agreed martin… the lights do look like they’re off a Nubira but its not an ugly car is it? I’ve seen one in the metal too quite a long looking car but the front design does seem a little restrained, this GT model fixes that problem! Anyway the GranTurismo is more my style This is for the retiree.

Actually, I have seen one in the metal, and I still think that the rear lights looked like the ones on the Nubira. As for it being a loverly car to drive, I recall on Fifth gear when they reviewed it, that around town “the suspension and the gear box, just doesn’t work” and also to add “it doesn’t work fully as a limousine and it doesn’t work fully as a sports car”. So I mean it can’t be that great to drive. As for those side vents, they look cheap and tacky, i saw the same thing done on a modified Ford Explorer.

Lovely. I don’t understand how anybody could not love this car. Even if you don’t like the looks, this is a wonderful car to drive and if you are a real car enthusiast, you wouldn’t care how it looked. It is a fantastic car.
Martin, the rear looks quite different to the Daewoo Nubira and that is even more the case when you see one in the metal.
