Most people would say it's the weakest point of the QP's looks.

Yep, i'm the one of them.

But overall, the car is uber sexy so front problem can be ignored...

Well that's design. Most of the most beautiful creations in the world has controversial desgn elements that makes the creation a hate or love item.

Re: Official: Maserati Quattroporte Facelift

I wasn't a fan of the pre-FL front, it found it weak.
This FL totally adresses the issue. Perfect. I just love it! It's a splendid, typical Italian creation.

Just fantastic. Too bad it's said not to be reliable, well-build and dependable...

I agree. LED strips are already starting to look 'normal'. I think what manufacturers need to do is to think up their own specific design shape for the DRLs e.g. Like Vauxhall/Opel have done the 'blade' shape on the Insignia and plan to carry on this shape onto the rest of their range.

Nice grille though!

Re: Official: Maserati Quattroporte Facelift

Well, i love the whole car, and it's character, but i wouldn't choose it over a 7er!

BTW, indeed this car is "hate it or love it"!
