Same general look for one-sixth the cost...

The Maserati and the FR-S. The FR-S is one-sixth the cost for nearly the same look. Thoughts?

Oh WoW!!!
|
Pretty close! The FR-S still has a sexier face though.

I definitely agree with this after I saw a Gran Turismo on the road last week; I saw a flashy red car approaching from the opposite end of the road the other day; at a distance of about a quarter mile I fully believed for a second I was about to greet another Firestorm FR-S; the resemblance is there for sure; How the nose points agressively downwards & similar headlight orientation; Then I noticed the huge signature crown in the grille =P
I have to say I like the face of the FR-S more for sure in a drive-by comparison, but what I like most about the Gran Turismo is the more angular and agressive windshield/ roof line; I guess if Toyota wasn't trying to optimize for some cargo space, they could have moved the canopy back a few inches to give that sleeker look with the windshield line =P Overall I was surprised by the similarity between both cars & am pretty happy by it too |
Go to Walmart and buy some stick on port holes-boom-Maserati

Hmmm
The Maserati isn't a FR-S statement like: I've thought about this and it makes good sense for me. The FR-S isn't a Maserati statement like: Sukka, ya sukka, ya; mine mine mine, ya loosa. Somehow a Toyobaru is special, and, don't ask me why, but the Maserati isn't. IMO |
To me, a Maserati is the car you buy when you can not quite swing that Ferrari. They are also softer and more touring oriented cars. I also just do not see it, other then proportions.

Nice comparison!
|
The Maseratis are HUGE in person....a very large-wide car..... The polar opposite of the FR-S....BIG HEAVY POWERFUL......vs light nimble energetic....
|
Try with TRD version of the 86 with black rims, you'll be surprise :)
|
What a new and inspiring sentiment! ;)
|
Nice comparison! The funny thing is, I see way more Maseratis in LA than FR-Ss. Hopefully the tide will turn soon.
|
Masarati... all the cost/maintenance of a Ferrari without the prestige or performance of a Ferrari.
