Ghibli S Q4 competition

@ CoolShirtGuy: I hope it stays in the pipe dream pile, I have always loved the Corvette, it's been my favorite car ever since I started liking cars, part of me would die the day they unveil a hybrid Corvette, it's fine just the way it is, there's no need to ruin it by adding an electric motor, I heard of the Corvette V6 twin turbo concept, I'm glad it stayed a concept, for an American performance flagship like the Corvette, a V8 is the way to go. Back to the Ghibli, I question putting a diesel engine in any vehicle that weighs less than 6,000 LBS, but you know what they say, "different strokes for different folks". I don't think the car should be despised just because it has a 6 cylinder engine, it's turbocharged and has 404 horsepower, so it's still fast.

To be fair, the Corvette Stingray concept had a hybrid powertrain that supposedly pumped out 700+hp, so it could very well be in the 'Vette's future. But for now, it goes with AWD, mid-engine layout and a TTV6 engine in the "pipedream" pile.

Maserati and diesel is a horrible combination of words... Just like diesel Ferrari (Imagine?), or fully-electric Corvette... Holy shhhh...
It will simply make Maserati not exclusive.. more a consumer goods... thats bad...
And Porsche isn't directly the same one as Maserati... Porsche are Germans, Maserati are Italians... Italians are famous for charm and grace...

I red somewhere that there will be a diesel V6 version for this car!!!
A lot of people will criticize Maserati for taking this route, but a lot of people also criticized Porsche for same reason and where are they now with their criticism, when Cayenne diesels and Panamera diesels are happily roaming the streets all around Europe, returning considerably better MPG and more than enough performance for a casual bursts of sportiness.
