JonC Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 In Edinburgh city centre this morning on my way in to work. It puts the Aston designs to shame. Utterly, drop-dead gorgoeus lines and an engine note that one could listen to all day long: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark88 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I think they look pretty crap from the front 3rd. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/Maserati_GranTurismo_at_NYIAS.JPG/800px-Maserati_GranTurismo_at_NYIAS.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Gorgeous, only bit I'm not keen on is the front grille, sticks out too far. But then if it didn't I suppose it'd just look like a clone of an Aston or Jag, both of which are gorgeous too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a fan of the new Aston designs, whereas on this, the tick boxes aren't big enough! Genius! Time for an underwear change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 One parks outside the village pub every couple of weeks (Sunday lunch job) and it looks and sounds (it's running a Tubi exhaust) loverley. And it's got the reg no PH** WAR, which is the only thing that let's it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1MAC Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Gorgeous, only bit I'm not keen on is the front grille, sticks out too far. A bit too close to this? However, having said that, it is probably the nicest & coolest car you can buy at the moment, although personally I'd have an XKR with an aftermarket facelift & a few other tweaks. Interesting that some don't like Astons compared to the Maser as the fundamentals (and possibly more) are very similar, almost like comparing Anonimo to Panerai. If someone told me that Henrik Fisker had penned both I wouldn't be at all surprised, even though that's presumably not the case. As for most beautiful car - no way Jose. Too much glasshouse & possibly too much length and girth and so doesn't even compare to other Italian efforts, let alone anyone else's. Nice as it is, I can think of quite a few better looking cars.

theduisbergkid Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 The Mazzer is beautiful, but a tad 'pouty' if I'm being hyper-critical... I love these... and these too.... No votes for anything German then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Neither of those do anything for me, I'm afraid. The only German thing I would put in the list is the Porsche Carrera GT, but more from an engineering beauty point of view. But it was made ages ago and isn't a current beauty Just loverly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brabus Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Can I submit my one? Btw, I've just fitted Larini sport back-boxes on it.

Andrew Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 The MD here has got a masser GT - they are alright but I would still take an Aston looks-wise over it. CGT - agreed over its utterly gorgeous looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Saw the Masser GT yesterday on the motorway. It was stunning. Saw numerous Fezza 430's and newer models, Astons, but nothing comes close to the GT. Until a Quattroporte came past.......... Sorry Brab - yours is second fav Saw a V10 S8 too. Very subtle. Comes 3rd on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I saw a bright yellow Quattroporte on the Royal Mile yesterday and IMO, it didn't suit it. Sounded great, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 .... Hmm, I prefer the looks of the Aston and the sound of the Prancing Horse. YouTube - Ferrari Stradale ^ A lot smoother, less harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Se5aScott Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Phew this thread is about about cars! Wasn't sure I wanted to look in here as the main index has been showing this for a couple of days Candidate for most beautiful... RedRobin I reckon the GranTurismo wins as the facelift on the XKR didn't go too well at the front, gills? The rear has been improved though and am I the only one who thinks that the jag's interior design is rubbish for a car in this segment? I'm sure it is good quality but it looks far too basic for me.

RedRobin Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 ^^^^ Now that blue Maserati is truly stunning! Very classic. I have to admit that I don't much like the other Maserati body styles of recent years. I love that nose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
