This is the definition of "Boutique motoring." That's why it's $225k.

I love the commitment from Todd, growing a goatee and putting the locks into a ponytail just to review a Maserati.

I would have never imagined this goes 200 mph or costs $225k. Both of those numbers blew my mind.

Great review as usual! However, the highlight was your ever changing expressions, Paul, while Todd was truly enjoying his turn to drive. Your mouth would “contort” and your eyes go from big to squint to sparkle for a high percentage of your passenger time like I’ve never seen before. Excitement/tad of fear as you reminded Todd that he’s moving rapidly…😅

I feel like this is the successful business person's sports car. If I had the money i'd have one!

I feel like the back seats is one of the better back seat attempts in a sporty GT. It’s just that you’re both irregularly big

We would agree with you. Smaller drivers could get people behind them. Thanks for watching!

Great job as always. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though it is not a car I could ever see myself buying even if I had the budget. I’d be interested to see how it compares to a Quadrifoglio -- an Italian alt though it’s on the way out. I think used Astons would probably also be in the conversation.

I have to disagree, the back seats are VERY usable. I'm 6'1" and can fit behind my driver's seat without touching the roof with my head. My 5'8" adult daughter sat in the back seat for a 600 mile drive without complaint. It is a rare modern 4 seater that is sporty and luxurious the only other is the Bentley Continental GT. That is why it is so big. And the reason I own a coupé S and cabrio S. Mine are the 4.7 V8s.

Interesting review. It’s a convincing argument for the well-healed GT buyer who wants the “alt”.

What a beautiful car!

Thanks guys!

Digging the Inigo Montoya look.

Love the new look Todd!

Todd, looking good!

In other reviews they said (and prove) than a person not taller than 5'9 can fit well in the back seats, in fact it's one of the best in its class in this matter. So, what are you two talking about???

@TestDriveVideos

Our guys are both 6’3” and the seats are shown in their driving positions. While we do believe smaller drivers could have smaller passengers behind them, no one would have fit behind our guys and kept their legs. This is quite common in most 2+2s. If others can use it as a four seat, that’s great - this is one of the larger 2+2 offerings. Thanks for watching!

I love Maserati even though it would bankrupt and shame my family heritage. I dont' care - I want to be that oddball person at Cars and Coffee in my $250k depreciating car in the midst of a sea of Porsches.

Ooh, more videos with Mirror Universe Todd!

Star Trek Mirror Universe Todd FTW!

Well $225 loaded. If you specked it out carefully you could probably get it in the low 2's. But consider Bentley, Aston Martin etc. In straight line performance its not far off. It drives a lot smaller than it has a right to based on its size. It is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Further its not a mainstream car for an affluent person like a Panamera is. Finally it's got AWD. I also heard that the Modena is not much different in the way it drives to the Trofeo and now your down to $185K. So if I had the means and wanted to be different, why not!

For some reason I thought this channel was uploading everyday driver's videos lol😂

Evil twin :)

Todd looking like a rock star 😅

Although I find that price utterly shocking, if you compare it to the new SL, M8 competition etc I guess it makes some sense. However 1 month after buying it, the value will drop to sub $150k which is the real death knell.

You guys are wrong about the back seats in this new Granturismo, they are actually usable even with the front seats where men would sit. Ive seen other videos where they demonstrate this, there is even head room for an averge person.

I always wanted Maserati to be the cheaper and more fun Ferrari. With the price of manual exotic cars holding so much value. I would love to see there NA ferrari codeveloped v8 with the flat plane crank. Last 458 engine type thing. The F136 FL was 600 hp. And put a manual in it. It would be something totally different.

Goatee Todd Waddup!😂

I own a Gran Turismo,I'll never sell it,but I will buy the new Trofeo.

Todd throwing us all for a loop 😂

Todd's facial hair looks like it always should have been that way.

If only it'd had a V8! Last gen QP / GT the sound was their biggest USP. I'd have an LC 500 over this any day of the week.

Fantastičan u svemu,za onog tko ima love potpuno nebitno 100.000 više ili manje

This will be a great car to buy for 75k in 3 years

Did No One Else notice Paul’s shirt?!? Miserati, not Maserati! From the QP5 days…

There’s some new Modernas for like 145k. At that price, practically a steel

The best part is, if it follows modern Masarati tradition,in 15 years it'll be great weekender selling at $22.5K !

911 turbo and how much Is the mc20

I really want someone to go over, pound by pound, why modern sports cars are 4000lbs. That's fine for the GranTurismo, but how are the Mustang and M2 nearly the same weight?

Hmm, this or the DB12? 🧐 Two GT cars that I couldn’t dream of affording.

Forza Italia!!!!🇮🇹🇮🇹

Especially if you factor in the devaluation, I think I'll stick with my turbo charged ND mx5 with its beautiful soul red paint.

Feels like it's priced 75-100k too high for what it is. At this price I find it hard to choose over a 992 Turbo or Bentley Conti GT.

Conti Gt is way more expensive after few options

I don’t like people that don’t buy 200k+ cars talk about buying and value of 200k vehicles

In 5 years this car will be $80k. In 10 years it will be $30k. It will also cost rediculous amounts of money to maintain but it will be a good deal.

It’s a shame what the 2010s did to their reputation. These new cars are fantastic and have to convince people they aren’t 2014 ghiblis

No one pays full retail price for a Grantourismo. You should get a healthy discount if you're willing to negotiate one.

So, Jaguar, Aston, and Maserati. All are not really exotics, and yet can be quite expensive. Why do they seem to depreciate rapidly?

So... Maserati first noticed customers wanted luxury and sport, so they figured out how to make a luxury car sporty. Then Porsche figured out how to make a sports car luxurious. Then the whole automobile industry decided that every car that wasn't an economy car had to be a "sports luxury" car, which simultaneously destroyed the concepts of a "sports car" and a "luxury car" and now we have a base 3 series that might as well be a Camry for all the sportiness and luxury it actually has

the one gent must review cars for the middle class 🤣

Think they'll make it in a convertible?

Will be awesome in 5 years for 80k.

Thank you for getting the reference!

If Nicholas Cage and Brendan Fraser had a lovechild it would be Todd in this video.

The biggest issue with this car is that theyre asking a lot more money for what is a refresh of an existing design that started a lot lower in price and is currently a fraction of the price for clean used ones. And while most things are a step up, some things, notably the engine and exhaust are actually a step down, which is a consideration. Compounding the issue is that Maserati has trashed their brand value ajd that exclusivity appeal with their cheap, garbage entry vehicles, namley the Ghibli (though the Quattroporte is also not holding the line either). So their asking price for this is completely out of line woth their market position and the expectations provided by the previous version od this very same car. This would be a great $150K car. And when these inevitably depreciate as most luxury and exotics do, but especially as Maseratis do, these will be incredible values on the secondhand market.

$225k, very limited interior options - ie, no classic Italian tan - and black or white are the only standard paint options, any other color is a five-figure sum. Does Maserati actually want to sell this car?

Has anyone ever seen Todd and John Travolta in the same room??

$50k overpriced. Dealers are already advertising thousands of $s below MSRP. Even before any negotiation. Maserati USA once again got the pricing completely wrong. Also that v6 does not sound good…Why didn’t they use the V8 3.2 twin turbo ?!? With that great look, that v8 and priced at $170k , they would have had a winner. The car has been out for a while now and I have not seen one yet on sports car heaven Orange County, CA roads. What a missed opportunity

nice beard

Who's that???!!!!!

That does seem to be a lot of money for that car, but I kind of dig it. To me, Maserati should be somewhat rare and exotic and the less common choice. They're good cars, but flawed. Beautiful, but expensive. Not as try-hard as some other brands' products, just nice overall for street driving. Uncommon with an exotic flare. But realistically, they'll be heavily discounted after the first year or two. It will be bought by people whose Ferrari dealer will only let them order a new Ferrari if they buy the Maserati first. Then years later, gibronis and other douchers will get their hairy gold-ringed fingers on them and plasti-dip the wheels and emblems black, apply limo tint, and not maintain them. Soon enough, they'll be available at any Aladdin's Fine Cars for $29,900. lol

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the EV version.

I rather save my some money and go with a Audi RS5 Coupe.

just negotiate a 50k off the price and you will still get it

Hi, from Japan!! Definitely, great car. However, I don’t buy it if I have $200K. I would buy Miata and spend money to change tires, suspensions and stabilizer etc… A normal man like me don’t have a strong enough heart to buy expensive cars like this. Also we know there are many fun cars with affordable prices. By the way, Mazda starts the new brand “Mazda Sprit Racing ”. Like Toyota “GR” Nissan “Nismo” or BMW “M”. I’m looking forward to seeing how it is gonna be.

Thailand beard, off to shoot The devil in miss Jones, a trenchcoat and nothing else, have the midlife crisis when you least expect it and buy a yacht kind of look. I want large fake golden rings on each finger, bead necklaces, a hat fit for a cartel leader to finish the new look. Maserati at least seems to have their quality control down. GR86 performance out of a 911 priced car. A nice combo. Try the most valuable and highly priced art from el Pepe by TrillionArt to fit the image. Four pieces to make a statement to the world.

A bittttt overpriced! It is not a Ferrari Portofino!!! AWD is a nice to have!👍

Doesn't feel like a $220k car you have baby because it's over priced. Nothing says more than 120k and even that's a stretch when most 120k cars drive better and have better quality and tech. 911, m8, SL, LC500, Aston Martin all better for the money and likely all more reliable except the Aston. A Bentley continental gt is only 20k more.

ps. you are not allowed to buy if you can´t pronounce it correctly.

I feel like Maserait needs to re-evaluate their prices in their entire lineup. This should be a 70k - 100k car not 225k
