The interior doesn't look nearly as luxurious as the exterior.

This must be a facelift of the Grandsport, right?

I think it's just a special edition.

I think it's not facelift, because if I recall corectly the new GranSport should come soon!

I definitely anticipate a new one. I'm not a fan of this current one.

Yeah, I'm waiting for a new one. This is sort of like mutton dressed up as lamb. Sure, they're probably a bit strapped for cash to develop all new cars, but no need to tell the automotive world that, either!

Special editions are often ways to get more traffic in showrooms, or to generate news.

I'm keen for Maserati to build on its heritage and its moderate success. I'll be keen to see what they come up with - to see whether they'll be a one-hit-wonder comeback kid, or long term stayers.

Yes this car is gorgeous, and Maserati is throwing everything at it to keep it fresh, but time is running out. The styling hasn't aged much, but the mechancials/chassis is getting old. Kinda reminds me of the previous Jaguar XK8.
