I don’t think Maserati would make an even smaller sedan than he Quattroporte. I think you should wait for the Alfa Romeo 169- the successor of the 166. I’m sure it will be a stunner at a more palatable price point.

I wish Porsche and Maserati would make a smaller sedan versions in the future. Then I’d definitely get one.

I must admit the Quattroporte has really grown on me, at first I thought it was w/e, nothing that specia. But I keep seeing them driving around, and they look awesome. So yeah I really like the Quattroporte.

The market voted with their money. Since you guys won’t get one anyway, they’ll probably never offer a manual.

The Quad is Sport Luxury.

Okay, an Auto is fine for Luxury, indeed, but that is:

Maybachs
Rollers
Bugs
600 series Mercs
Bentley Saloons
Buicks

But a Maser needs a third pedal and row-your-own transmissions.

thats bullshit, if I’m driving a luxury car, I still want a third pedal and a stick.

JSP, the M5 is performance oriented, the Quattroporte is luxury oriented. A manual is preferred by people who want performance, and an automatic is better for people who want luxury.

At least its not the old GM slushbox the Italians always used…

Needs an actual 6-sp manual with a friggin’ clutch pedal!!!!!!!!

yeah this needs a traditional manual

Yup the ZF they are using is similar to the ZF used on all Land Rovers, Real Jaguars, the New X5 plus the new Arnage.

Wow, those Zf transmissions must really be something

That’s funny. BMW added a conventional manual option to the M5 while Maserati added an automatic to the QP.
