Being a fan of Maserati is like being a fan of the (current, I suppose) Ferrari F1 Team. The failures are miserable, but when they get it right, it’s the sweetest thing.
A used QP would probably make a fine DD for someone who knew what they were getting into and want something different than the average Bimmer or Merc. I can’t imagine any reason to buy a Ghibli over an Alfa Giulia. Especially the Quad, which is better than the QP even. The MC20 is the only one that could have some sense being bought brand new if you wanted a specific look and wanted an Italian sportscar that wasn’t a Ferrari or Lambo. Maserati is a weird brand. It can be fun to kick while it’s down, and they’re priced too high for their build quality and equipment levels, but they are a little different. But dumb people buy them for clout, and it’s helped sour the brand.
