Heh, you reminded me of a Clarkson quote.Originally Posted by Huntsman

I don't know Maseratis well, but that top one is...
I loved that one.
Then there's my current favorite, the Quattroporte Sport GT:

Thank you for that video, Huntsman. I endorse what was done to the Biturbo. Seems like I have a kindred spirit in Clarkson.Originally Posted by aarghh
After the Bora it was all downhill.
BTW, the only other car in the book that could vie with the 5000GT for my attention was the BMW 507.
Yipper. I think Clarkson is a kindred spirit for all, coughs, most, car guys.

Eh, I don't know. Of all the 'exotic' marques, out here in the sticks I've seen a few Quattroportes, perhaps more than any other, and while they are enough to make me notice its not a Buick, it doesn't do anything for my blood. Different strokes and all...
For that money, I'd be DB9 all the way. Man, the cars have been out lately, I saw a shockingly shiny red Countach the other day. While I always thought it was a bit wild, the thing is a jaw-dropper.

But the understatement is exactly why I like it so much.

The DB9 isn't a four-door, so there's really no comparison. As for the Countach, I've always disliked conspicuously race car-like designs.

I raise to you, the Aston Martin Rapide.
Excuse me while I go buy a lottery ticket. Maybe I'll get lucky. What a stunning car. I would assume it is more practical than the DB9, but the 2-door still has that unmatched cool factor.

Honestly only the first Mazzy is special and beautiful. The other two that followed are semi-ugly. The radiator treatment on the third one is ghastly in a very Pontiac way.Originally Posted by dkzzzz
The third one does kind of look like a George Barris Maser. Quad headlamps never looked right on these type of cars. Still, stunning automobiles.

In all honesty, this looks too much like a Passat to me. The first car posted by Christopher and the cars posted by Texas Jack are quite striking.

Ha ha ha, yeah this one is great too but I choose the shah of iran over this one just based on sheer exclusivity. I think the wheel sizes are just a function of the era. fifties tire technology was such that tires were tall but narrow and the Maseratis pictured are low cars so the wheels look really tall. The effect is beautiful

Gottcha. Understatement it does do. Except, of course, for the crown, which is a little something special.
Right about the DB9; I am a GT fan, and also put everything above 100k USD sortof in one group, the I-can't-afford-it group.
The Countach is not on my top whatever list, but my, seeing one is a shocker.
