Seriously? I just don;t see it. The grill opening on a Maserati is usually wider, no?

Is there a specific model that actually looks like the FR-S?

It sure doesn't look like a ferrari, but still not as out of place as I've felt before

First Maserati I've ever seen in my town, hell, let alone Wyoming, and I decided to park next to it, my wife was less than enthused, especially when I got out with the camera and ran across the street to take this:

I think they have the same model Maserati in white on display at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA... while the lines look similar because the BRZ's/FR-S's very classic sports car lines, the Maserati is huge, lol. It looks at least a third bigger--though, sexy as hell.

I actually looked at a used Maserati Coupe before I bought my FR-S. It's not the same car, not even a little bit. One is a bad ferrari, the other is a better Datsun 240z. I know which one I am happier with.

Also for comparisons sake is was a 2003 with about 75,000 miles on it and was the same price. No major damage and a clear carfax... it had just been around for a while.
