As much as I like the interior of a new S-Class, it can't touch Maser's

There's a lot to like about the Quattroporte, but it's seemed half-a-generation behind every other sport sedan ever since it was first introduced. The cabin looks like a bunch of half-baked ideas and after-market parts thrown together--like what a cash-rich, design-poor independent maker would come up with. The material quality may be fantastic, but the design falls below what the Germans are capable of. Take a look at the Audi A8 interior. Now, that's gorgeous.

I think the next Quattro could be something really special, though. They just need to focus and refine what they've already got.

What's with all the TVs? It's like being in the back seat of a taxi....

The best part of Maserati is the trident logo. One of the all time best.

the audi/etc. doesn't come close to maserati interior.

teh maserati interior is all leather and suede. if you actually get the chance to sit in one, you'd know. the benz/audis/porsches are all plastic and leather. they're nice, but they're not pure luxury.

women literally purred in my former maserati...

foo - you've got a lot of cars for a guy who lives in manhattan! (they don't have those tv's in the back, do they?) that being said, there are few things in the world less meaningful to me than luxury car interiors....
