I was glad to sell my Cayenne Turbo and move up to the GL550. I love both of my MBs.

No one can give you a definitive answer, you must test drive both, preferably the same day and try to get more then customary couple miles so you can get a better feel.
Then make your decision by yourself, here you will get "opinions" mostly from internet experts with ZERO personal experience in either car.

If you don't need 4 doors or the hatchback for cargo, I'd say go for the S63 Coupe.

Thank-You

D.B. - It's my wife's daily. So far so good, zero issues with it which frankly been quite the surprise!

The exterior most would agree is beautiful for a crossover-type SUV. Inside, the leather is decent but to me there is way too much plastic and cheap looking stuff from the Chrysler parts dept and I find the gear shifter horrible. Performance is okay, typical for a Maserati it sounds and looks faster than it is, and fuel economy is very poor for a V-6.

But she is happy with it. Maserati did add some of the stuff missing tech from the earlier Ghibli cars, i.e. surround camera, blind spot monitoring, etc. She got a fairy nice discount off MSRP which made it an okay value I guess.

PS - what do you think of the McLaren 720S? It is on my radar... I think it is a true game changer in the supercar segment.

WOW - The McLaren 720S

I do not fit in this car but from

what I have read it is incredible

I talked with a McLaren owner

who said he is planning to upgrade

to the 720S and he used the same term

"True game Changer"

Please keep us informed even if it

is a test drive...


Thank-You
D.B.

If you want Luxury and Performance "Porsche"

If you want Luxury, Performance, Comfort, Elegance and gadgets go "S63"

Best choice: S63 and buy a second hand 911 Turbo S

If you are leading toward the panny I would get the turbo sport turismo.
