      I wouldn't get the Maserati... You won't be happy with it.
      My cousin bought a 2008 Maserati Quattroporte GTS almost a year ago now, and is not happy with it. We bought it in California, and drove it home to Washington. The car is so heavy that you CANNOT feel the 400hp. The inside isn't all that nice as well. The F1 transmission is TERRIBLE; very rough shifting. You can actually burn the clutch on it, even though it's an automatic. A clutch job on one of these costs about $5,000, and lasts about 30-40k miles.

      The ONLY nice thing about the Maserati is the exhaust. Sounds really nice in a drive-by, but can't hear it from inside the car.

      I'd stick with the Lotus.

      Here's a picture of the Maserati. The 911 is his brother's.

        Lotus hands down. How is this even a question?
        I'd rather have an elise/exige than just about anything. (except E30)

          The maserati weighs literally more than double the lotus. Yes, 2 lotus elise together weigh less than the maserati. :down:

            Is there any correlation between this decision and the pics you post in the 'hot chicks' thread?

              Drive one. Personally, they look and sound cool but I just don't think I would buy one. There are too many cars I love out there that I need to own before I own one that I just like.

                  I think the trident would be a awesome car to have, but I think it might break you on maintenance, since you have toyota power in the lotus .........................
