Used Granturismo or GTR?

Hi there, I'm planning to replace my Lexus GS450h (or keep it altogether) with the either one of the above 2 choices, most probably commit late this year or early next year, but I guess there's no harm in planning in advance.

Maserati Granturismo

+Killer looks
+Evocative exhaust note
+Brand
+Leather is much better
+Ergonomics much better
+Less common than the latter?

-About $100k more
-Performance not that fantastic
-Parts would be more expensive?

Nissan GTR

+Design
+As fast as a 599
+Value for money
+Practical
+Maintainence no problem

-Exhaust note is like an average car
-Common
-'Datsun' image
-Insurance



Any inputs?
 
Re: Used Granturismo or GTR?

erm... Maser?
 
Re: Used Granturismo or GTR?

pls buy a maser and give me a taxi ride.

GTR is a bit beng in my opinion.
 
Re: Used Granturismo or GTR?

Maser.

You're not going to miss the 0-100 sprints in legal Singapore.
 
Re: Used Granturismo or GTR?

maser for me. u r right, the exhaust note is intoxicating
 
Re: Used Granturismo or GTR?

looks like the result is very one sided to Maser.

Amber11 pls remember to PM me when u get that ride. :shoot: :p
 
Re: Used Granturismo or GTR?

Should get Granturismo S. Exhaust note steam ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
 
Re: Used Granturismo or GTR?

i agree a gtr is bit beng, but it is still a great car and attracts a lot of attention. you can improve the music with an after market exhaust..

plus you can do a lot of things with a spare $100k.... resale may also be easier.

If below 35 get gtr
If above 35 get gtr first for
two yeArs then change to maser.
 
Re: Used Granturismo or GTR?

Maser for me.... i'm a gentleman :chinese:
But i heard the servicing and changing of clutch will kill.
 
Re: Used Granturismo or GTR?

Looks like almost everyone here is rooting for the granturismo. Man, truth be told my heart is siding towards the granturismo as well, so i was hoping that there would be more of a balanced opinion here. The thing is though, the problem with the granturismo is that the difference between that and a used gallardo is about 100k? And this gives me more headache. Since it's obvious that the hierarchy is Maser < Ferrari < Lambo, now I would have to consider an F430 or a V8 Vantage. Whereas a GTR is very clear cut. Nissan is nissan. This is the problem with wanting to get a coupe, too many options. If I was deciding to change my 7, the choices are really straightforward. Either the S class, LS or the new 7.

Anyone here been in my position before?

maser gt is getting tired. too many. gtr for me. but the gtr likely gonna cost u more to maintain.
