Looks a lot bigger IRL, looks Cayenne sized. I like it.

i think it’s ugly and the rear lights look like a fusion which looks good on a sedan but not... crossover

I see these virtually every day. I am not enthused. They have the entitled sketchy money coed market locked up, anyway.

Anytime I see someone in a Maserati (any of them), all I can think of is how they bought the worst possible expensive car in its class, just to be different. I can respect that to a point, but Maserati is past that point. I could maybe be swayed if the cars were at least attractive, but Hyundai and Kia have them handily beaten, IMO.

Maserati and Alfa Romeo are messing with me with their sizes. I keep thinking the Alfas overlap with the Maserati lineup but they actually don’t.

Giulia = C/3/A4
Ghibli = E/5/A6
Quattroporte = S/7/A8
Stelvio = GLC/X3/Q5
Levante = GLE/X5/Q7

Here in Madison we have a Fiat/Alfa dealer but I wonder if it doesn’t make more sense to have Alfa and Maserati combined to provide a lineup roughly similar to Ze Germans.

You’re the first person I’ve seen get it right as far as size/competitors.

I actually had to check the dimensions first to be sure.

Until I saw the Levante today, my perception was that the Stelvio and the Levante were the same size, same thing with the Giblet and the Giulia.

Eh I wouldn’t go as far as saying Hyundai and Kia have beaten Maserati. But the designs are certainly getting a lot more bland, I blame the USA.

I don’t hate it, not sure why, I like cars that are a bit gauche.

That’s definitely a good term for it.

The owners/drivers of these things are enough to turn me off.
