close to $130K. Despite
those options ruled out, it
gets harder. A Maserati
Quattroporte S starts at
US$106K. A nicely
equipped model can be
had for about
$130K. The rear seats
won’t be ventilated, and
there is no cool body kit
present. Also, 0-62 MPH
is about half a second
slower than the B7.
BUT,
it’s a Maserati! Alpina
may be super, but few
marques can be
considered ‘exotic.’ So it
is quite possible that the
Maserati will bring bigger
smiles per miles. To add
another foe to the B7, the
Tesla Model S is one of
my favorite cars. To this
day, the 2013 P85 I rode
inside of is the best car I
have ridden in, ever. The
P85D is very attractive. I
may have some work to
do…
