I was in one of these about 6 weeks ago at the "pre-launch" party. We had  
the only car in the country at the time and it looked pretty finished but  
hopefully they will make it a bit nicer! The design is fantastic. The interior  
like all Masers is really good to but there were a few small things that were  
disappointing; the carpet is the nastiest, cheapest crap you can imagine (hope  
they update that!). Somr fit and finish things were just not right; the seat  
belt guides on the seats were not aligned at all and it was obvious. Of course 
 our car may not be representative of the ones coming off the production 
line. I  have been to the Maser factory three times in the past 7 years and it 
is 
an  impressive facility...Its a BIG car as well. Make no mistake it dwarfs the 
old  coupe and convertible. I am 6'0 and can sit in the back with the drivers 
seat in  position as well. 
 
Here it is priced the same as the baby aston, £77k, and I would have one  
over the Aston. It is a GT though, not a sports car, to big to be very  sporty.

The new issue of R&T (Nov) has a short thing about this new  addition to 
the Maser line.  With a V8 & 405hp, and a very high  level of fit 'n finish, 
it will hopefully sell like Italian  hotcakes.   The part most noticible was 
the photo - from bumper  level at 25feet it's an incredibly beautiful design 
IMHO.    Priced at $110K it's out of my price range - hopefully some or all 
of  ya'll will buy one so I can live vicariously through you. ;-)     Drive 
it 
hard and fast then tell me all about it.

Hmmm I wonder if I could convince a dealership to let me borrow one for  
the weekend?   <lol> Doubtful, *real* doubtful.   ;-)  About as likely as the 
ferrari dealer letting me borrow a F430  to see how I like it. ;-)  They 
obviously have more sense than  that!

Love this car!!
