  1. Maserati un marchio storico.x avere più visibilita'prezzi più abbordabili,se vuoi uscire dalla crisi.io comprerei una porche
    X lo stesso prezzo..e così perdi terreno e visibilita'..Poi una volta preso il cliente che sia rimasto soddisfatto si può parlare di incremento prezzi..Altrimenti.....non abbiamo chance..Amante delle auto

  2. The real question that arises beyond these incessant appointments is this: what room for manoeuvre do all these new appointees have?
    Will Stellantis review its product plan for the coming years, and reposition its pricing? These are the real challenges facing these new managers.
    Let's put it bluntly: up until now, Stellantis has done everything wrong with Maserati, and his all-electric policy has led to the current results. With Tavares gone, it's time for a change in methods and strategy!
    Trying to sell more expensive cars than a more established competitor is commercial suicide, and Maserati has done it!

  3. Maserati should not have dropped the gas models, Quattro Porte and Ghibli while it waits for an all-electric Maserati to be introduced in 2 or 3 years. They just sent potential buyers to BMW, Mercedes and Porsche. They should have kept the ICE (gas) models along with the electric ones. To have only electric models at this point is suicide. They then complain that Maserati sales are down. Maserati has NO LARGE 4 DOOR VEHICLES vehicles to sell!!!! WAKE UP MASERATI.

  4. I think they really need to put some germans people running the company, it would be sensational if Audi buys it or someone along the line and make it run like some proper business people

    Maserati looks like was run by a bunch of uni students trying running a brand as newbies

    You guys completely cooked the brand, the bounce back here is absolutely almost impossible

    These guys deserve to shut down the company and start from stop ripping off people first
