^ I agree, the Maserati is trash. If you need AWD i'd get S4 over C43. If you don't need AWD and if prices are same I'd get the Alfa all day. Just make sure you keep that warranty bc you will need it LOL.

Alfa is the best performing. It best the C63, M3 and ATS-V in head to head tests. Motor trend filmed them all and put it on Youtube. Not just 0-60 either.
it sounds amazing too, one of my coworkers drive it. However, they are likely the least reliable of the choices. Warranty is important.
Ghibli sounds great, interior has improved, but it's still lacking. It's a status symbol more than anything.

The 911 is a completely different machine. Its built way better. It does not squeek or rattle even after 4 years. Because mine is not an AWD, the performance is a bit different. C43 can feel quicker off the line.

Here is why you shouldn't get a Ghibli (
) the Quadrifoglio is a nice car for sure, it would be a toss up between that and the C43. I'm sure the Qualdrifolgio is more expensive than a C43.

I test drove a Guilia with the 4 and it drove great, probably a little better than the C43, but was way under powered. I didn't consider the 6 because it was about $15k more than the C43. And I don't trust Italian reliability.

Great car, but I think it is getting too old. The platform has been on the market for 6 years now. I believe the new one comes out soon as the tech on the current one is getting pretty old. Lovely engine though and makes big power with a tune.

The value between a c43/450 and the glorified Chrysler is night and day. No comparison at all.

M5 is equal to E63s.. very close as far as acceleration..most tests show the M5 is faster and only carwow has the E63s as being faster.. I believe the M5 has a better ride comfort compared to the E63s.. but both cars are very similar

Honestly if you can get the Alfa, i'd get the alfa.... The performance is top notch..
