Maserati - our higher priced lookalikes?
 

Has anyone else noticed how similar our cars look to the Maserati Gran Turismo from the side profile?

To add to the feeling, I followed a Ghibli today, and the tail (the lights, the shape of the trunk, and particularly the shape of the license plate area) are strikingly similar to our rear ends.

I hate to be the thread hater, but discussed many times before! I agree, but think we're more the cheap version of it.

Yes they do look almost identical. But I prefer the 86 styling more due to its more compact size and more lower slung roof line.

...and price tag, but I'm being redundant. There's a guy that owns one up here in Vancouver/Portland. Total asshat driver.

Don't forget this baby

Jaguar F Type Coupe rawr

I have said that the 86 engineer had a Grand Turismo poster on one side of his office and a Cayman on the other.

I've had a cop pull me over and say I thought this was a Maserati.

I had some people think my car was a Ferrari! Don't know if I should take that as a complement or an insult!

My dads boss recently bought a brand new quattroporte and hates it. She can't leave it parked for more then two days or the battery dies. Then she took it in to the dealer because she was having problems with something. They gave her a dodge as a loaner....

I would the say the F type is even closer than the maserati... it also just looks perfect :wub:

No worries... I know the granturismo is our well known doppelganger but I saw my first Ghibli yesterday...

Never once have I considered re/debadging until now. Might be fun to stick a maserati badge on the back for laffs.

This thread is pretty silly. so rwd 2+2 coupes have similar roof, hood and rear lines, shocking!!! It's almost like there's legal, engineering, and aero reasons to make them all similar.

It's like saying airbus a380 - high priced 737 lookalike?

Yes, it can be confused with Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
