If you like your local Maserati dealership that's good news, because you will be visiting them a lot in the future. . .

K2man... can you post some more pictures of your yachting blue? I've exhausted all the internet resources and need new material! I've never seen it in person. Is it similar to anything on the road I might run across?


About a month to go I imagine. The day after I placed the order the Porsche web site switched to a 2015 configurator. I'll be interested to see what MY I get.

RattleItHome,

Attached are some pics when i picked up my car last year. You will like the color. Depending on the light, you will see a grey tint in the paint. I have never seen anything like this color on the road.

I would suggest that you put a clearbra on the front of the car when you get it. Mine has served me well protecting the front end paint from the rocks and other bad stuff on the roads.

Pick up was quick. Car was in showroom with people ogling it. Out of town at moment without car. Might have driven it instead of range rover but panamera alarm kept going off in a dark and quiet garage so I wasn't comfortable locking it up out in the real world. I hope there is a sensitivity setting.
I'll post pics Tuesday. Not enough can be said about the sound the gts makes. Glad I didn't get the burmester system.

I only have 100 miles on it, but I can say for sure it is a very well composed ride. I was thinking it might be a brutal ride compared to my Range Rover, but even in sport mode the ride meets my every expectation. The sound is great. The engine has personality, and what I like is that you get the same sound every time you do the same action. You can count on just the right note.

Three cars barely fit in a three car garage these days. All of these cars deserve a warm, dry place to rest. GTS is great. What have people done to remove or cover the annoying child safety warnings on the visors?
