Quattroporte [Spy Shots]:2014 Maserati Quattroporte

[Centurion]

Chrysler interior. Still think this car won't be based on the 300? Think again.

Thankfully it looks much different from the copy-paste-Chrysler interior we saw a few months ago. This iteration has much more originality to it.

Maybe I need a better pic, but I don't get a "Chysler" vibe from the pic.

Looks like a really nice Chrysler. The Quattroporte has been lost.

Which Chrysler is this you speak of? The arm rest is Jaguar XF and the Nav Screen area is VW Phaeton.

I too, feel the Chrysler vibe. It may have lots of wood, but the dash structure is so 300.

Chrysler 300, which is what this lame "Maserati" will be based on. Its even being build on the same assembly line as the Chrysler 300.

Right, they've tried to dress it up, but clearly the Chrysler DNA is all over the place. This is really sad.

This early interior did but I don't think the latest interior emit Chrysler vibes.

Do you have access to the Chrysler 300 where you are? If you do I suggest you take a look at one, because they favor each other greatly. The materials are different, i.e. better wood and leather and more chrome, but the structure is a dead ringer for the Chrysler 300. Even if they change the look, this car isn't going to give any of that Italian feel or drive, its based on what started out as a W210 E-Class! Its from 2 generations ago.

True. I just sat in the new 300, and this pic definitely reminds me of its interior. No kidding. Go to a chrysler showroom. But i have no doubt that the exteriorof this new Q would me amazingly beautiful.

Take the gearlever.

The old Masers even had the same gearlever as Ferraris. Remember the Maser gt and the modena/575 f1 ?

While it seems it has lost its Italinate flair (BMW shifter, potentially drab looking door paneling), I still don't see much Chrysler in it. The nav screen is higher in Chrysler's car and the HVAC controls are different.

Regarding the QP being built on the 300's/Charger's assembly line, I think only the Maser SUV will share the same floor space with the Grand Cherokee. The QP wil still be an assembled in Italy. Also, while I'm not been paying too much attention (study, study, study!), I've yet to hear/read anything if the QP will be based on the LX(?) chassis of the 300 and Charger. However, to reiterate what I said before, if it is indeed based on those Chysler cars, they shouldn't even bother releasing it....the resources and money spent on this would be better spent on something else.

You're right, its the Maser SUV that is being built on the same line as the Jeep, not the Quattroporte, I stand corrected.

Well looking at these latest spy photos, I can say that the 'photoshop' images posted on the start of this thread is 99.9% like the real thing.

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

Exterior-wise, it looks great. It's hard to improve on a sedan that, IMO, is next to near perfect.

Grazie!

I completely agree...
