I'm racking my brains and trying to think of a time when Maserati had a better crop of cars. Even when it was producing tackle like the Bora and the Merak, there was a nagging edge of flakiness to the cars and the feeling that a financial implosion was always just around the corner. The Biturbo years that led into the Karif, Shamal and Ghibli days are probably best glossed over, with a renaissance of sorts arriving with the debut of the 3200, 4200 GT and Quattroporte models. The ongoing development of the Quattroporte and the introduction of the GranSport and its GranCabrio sibling have given Maserati a rock solid foundation the like of which is beyond the living memory of many. The addition of the GranCabrio Sport model brings an even naughtier edge to its raffish drop top.
