Thank you. You played a part in the decision-making too, as with all the replies on this board.

Sure thing. We paid about USD250,000 for the Sport GT.

Congrats. The Gt is the way to go. Everyone who have tested it says that the gearbox is much better than the one in the odrinary 4porte.

Our colour choices:









Give us your honest opinions. I would love to hear Roberto's comments especially... We took very long to decide on this combination, and working out my father's preferences along with making sure everything matches is surely one tiresome process.

I've heard comments like 'white isn't for a Maserati!' and 'red brake calipers?'

Would love to hear from the forum (though I sincerely hope we chose the right combination).

Honestly, it's a great combo. Loving the interior better than exterior though. Anyhow, nice.

The interior colour choice is perfekt. Brown, not too dark and not too light. As for the exterior white can look very good on some cars, but if you are to choose white for an elegant car like the 4porte the colour better be pearl white and not bathroom white.
I'm a fan of the 4porte and have seen it in several colour and it simply doesn't look its best in light colours. The colour to choose are either maroon, a gorgeous blue colour or racing green. Those are the colour I think suits the 4porte's design and personality. i still remember the green one I saw a couple of months ago, it was simply breath taking.

Thanks everyone.

You're right, we specifically made it a priority that we did not get a solid white colour... We checked out the colour we had (Bianco Eldoraro), it looks good, with a tinge of ivory in its tone. It doesn't show very well on the configurator, though.

Those colours are really exciting, and personally, I would go for one of them (probably green), but it's my father's car after all.

The dealer actually advised us to go for a more conventional trim to go with that interior colour... Something like Walnut, or Rosewood. But in the end, we went for the piano.
