Elfin – you just like Astons because James Bond has one.
😀 Makes them sexy!
Who drives an Aston Martin? James Bond.
Who drives a Maserati?
See?
You have less than no idea. And style? Errrmmm…
No you’re wrong. The Maserati is a nice looking car, granted, although the hard top is far nicer than the contravertible. But it’s whole image is a bit, well, mleh. It doesn’t look quite aggressive enough to be a ‘sports car’, in spite of that grille. Just looks like a spensive executive car, nothing more.
Trouble is, cars these days tend to be based on the optimum aerodynamic shape, and as such there’s little flair and character in a lot of car designs. Gone are the days when car designers could come up with wild and wonderful creations. Blandness prevails. I want something that makes me go ‘phwooar’ or ‘oooh’ or ‘mmmmm’. Hardly any cars these days do that for me.
See, WCA isn’t buying a new car cos he wants practicality, or optimum performance, or anything like that. He wants something silly fast, comfy and lovely. Dunno, but that Maserati just seems a bit diluted, a bit watered down. Prettier than his Merc though. That’s not difficult.
My investigations have revealed that there are few really sexy cars these days. It’s a shame. Seems that the most exciting thing about a car these days is it’s spec sheet, not it’s design. 🙁
Phwoooar….
