Maserati MC20

[Buster]

I still ike this car. I'm still not sure about the styling - it's more "generic supercar" than something new.

I've heard really not-good things about the future of the Maserati dealer network, so there's that.

It seems to sound good, they've leaned into the turbo side of things.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't just a buy a mclaren though?

I am advised that it's a limited run for 3 years or something and all the orders have already been sold. So eventually on a used market will be the only option and it remains to be seen how it holds/appreciates in value being a limited run.

I don't trust manufacturers when they say these things

Maserati has lost its way recently with the Ghibli and the Levante. Build quality has gone down the toilet and panel gaps have gaped wide open.

Recently? Maserati hasn't been good for as long as I can remember. Their entire lineup through the decades has been generally disappointing, and they continue with their (sub)standards which weren't good enough back in the day and certainly not today when people paying that level of money know it buys them laser precision in another brand.

With that said, the sum of the parts for this MC20 look pretty alright from a performance perspective. My personal take is that it looks Lotusesque in profile.

I expressed an interest in putting down a deposit towards one for whenever the next availability would be at my local dealer and they said they couldn't as they are all sold out. If they were going to keep producing them I would think that a dealer wouldn't turn down the opportunity to secure an order.

On an interesting note, one of the ones ordered in Edmonton is specced with the $50K carbon fibre wheels option and the guy apparently built it to almost double its cost.

Thank fuck its an automatic, and has ample driver assist systems.

Looking good Maserati!

[BavarianBeast]

It does look good, but it sounds like a Corolla

Really good and not douchey at all. I know a guy in Calgary and Edmonton so I can put you in touch with either. I am 'closer' to the one in Edmonton so I would recommend chatting with him.

PS: My experience at Porsche recently was really good as well and not douchey at all. Have a guy if need be. Haha.

did you try to buy a Porsche GT car though?

[shakalaka]

Nope. Though I was being offered a 2019 unit they have sitting there. I am sure if you chat with my people, they won't treat you in a douchey manner at all.

annnnnddd the auction got pulled. Maserati demanded that the auction be removed despite there being no conditions on the original sale of the vehicle to the current owner.

Sounds like getting an MC20 will be annoying and/or expensive. I think this car is a sign of things to come with how Stellantis plans to handle Maser without Ferrari getting in the way.

I'll take a look at one again in a couple of years after The Great Sportscar Price Crash.

[Buster]

Interesting that there are a dozen of these for sale on trader. Some of them getting price chops.

[shakalaka]

Well considering they are well marked up from MSRP to begin with, a little drop here and there doesn't really do much. I like these cars but not at $400K.
