Talking 09 s63 or 09 maserati quattroporte sport gts

I need some help guys. I am debating between the 2 cars and idk which one to pick. Its currently just me and my wife no kids. I love both cars and would get them in white with a dark brown interior. I love the looks of the new sport gts with the new 20in rims and i also love the s63 with the white designo package. Help guys...

Maserati is SLOW. 394bhp is nothing nowadays,and they're unreliable. Handles quite well though and sounds good, but can't back up the sound

S63 all the way.

S63 has to be one of the best looking cars out there. You get a car with lot's of room, luxury and over 500hp. S63 !!!

S63...you don't know about the reliability factor of the new Maserati...MB isn't the best but it has a better track record than Maserati...

Im not really concerned with speed as i am already in trouble for speeding. I like the looks of the qp gts and it is more rare on the road.

+1 on that one. the tranny is not all that great in the GTS. up keep cost way too much for what you are getting. the merc looks to be the better deal.

I drove one S65 and I'm still shocked, I can't even imagine how it feels with stg. 2. Regarding the rarity of the qp gts, I haven't seen one on the roads here in Toronto yet, however I see at least 2 regular qp a day living downtown... I rarely see any S63 (S550s with sport package, thats about it)... Just my opinion though. You should get whatever you like more, they are both great cars. GL!

If you are going to lean towards the Maserati...lean to the Gran Turismo...now that is a looker!

Maserati

I guess I"m going to be the black sheep here ... I'd go Masarati. To be honest though, without kids, I wouldn't be looking at either of those cars.

I'd much prefer to be looking at Porsche, Gran Turismo, SL, CLK Bseries, etc.

Any specific reason why you want the big *** car for only 2 people?

Quattroporte is going to turn more heads, and sounds beautiful. S Class is going to blow it's doors off and do it with more comfort. Quattroporte is going to murder you on service visits. If it were me I'd go with the Italian!

Mercedes or Maserati

My wife has the Maserati. She loves the sound and handling of the car and it gets a lot of looks. It feels slower than our supercharged Suburban though. If you don't care about straight line performance and you want a unique car, get the Maserati. If you want the faster more comfortable car, get the MB. However, if you drove my K2+ E55 you'd drop the other two cars from your list immediately

I am not sure if maserati's have become better but I tell you that they spoil quickly and will burn your wallet from the numerous times you would expect it to go to the garage. I would get an S63 becuase of its size, large boot and panaromic roof.

my friend has the QP and i was in the back seat recently...not very comfy, and certainly not designed for 3 people(kids maybe). it felt like the backseat of E-class but sitting lower.
imho, if you want to have adults comfy in the backseat, the S-class is the only way to go.
