Excellent choice!
with a few small carbon accents (front lip, mirrors, rear lip spoiler), the car is literally perfect.
are you going to drive it all year?

Lovely car. Use it in the best. I am just interested though. Same price as a loaded 991S or GT3 or maybe even a new turbo (non-S). Italians are sexy but why? Is it a DD? Just being nosey.

Will let the OP answer (if he wants to!) but the car has Mercedez Benz of Miami plates on it so I assume it is pre-owned (not sure of the year). If so, I'm thinking it would cost less than a new 991S.

Thanks! The Maserati MC Sportline was stunning. Unfortunately there are very few nationwide. I only saw 1 other available and that was in YVR, selling for 40K more!!! Not going to be a DD.

I thought so too.

Actually it isn't black. The Italian name for this colour is Grigio Granito. Translation: Dark Grey. Although in the shade it looks sexxxxy.

Thanks! I'm hoping to take it out this weekend. I'll try to join the gang @ Artisano if I do.

I'm not sure what the 991S/GT3/Turbo retails for. What I do know is that purchasing a Ferrari/Maserati in the US is far cheaper than Canada. I'm sure that goes for the Porsche too. Why Italian? An itch that needs scratching I guess. I'm a huge Ferrari fan but owning one means you have to act the part which I can't live up to. In the end, the Maserati has the Ferrari motor and soul; it's just heavier and has four seats. Oh, and the sound is just magnificent!

It's a 2010 with a year and a half of warranty left. Mercedes of Miami made it much easier to arrange a PPI @ Ferrari-Maserati of Lauderdale, shipping and paperwork. They also provided a full audio/video and report.
Great experience.

Italian exotics sure do have great exhaust sound. Did it need any modifications to get into Canada? Hopefully Remo will treat you well when you come in for service AND honour the warranty. He does have a certain reputation. Having only 1 dealer/service means they have you by the genitals. The GOOD news is that while it is being serviced you can go visit Pfaff!
