Cool. Just for looking insanely good. Not SZ because it only has those looks and not a lot more in my opinion, but cool nontheless.

McLaren · Feb 27, 2011

Cool for me. Sexy, sounds amazing, all around great car. But, it's missing a key thing to be Sub Zero.

astrosdude91 · Feb 27, 2011

I voted cool. It's a beautiful thing, and that Ferrari V8 sounds fantastic. It just misses Sub zero, and I can't really put my finger on why; it's just something missing. Perhaps is because even though they're supposed to be very exclusive, they're way too common place.

C-ZETA · Feb 27, 2011

Cool, all because it looks so :drool:

GT_Prologue5 · Feb 27, 2011

Cool because it's so sexy, and it has Ferrari engines for a Maserati price. Still, there's nothing that makes it S-Z.

Tonnie073 · Feb 27, 2011

Cool, but not sub-zero it doesnt performs really good, and they are also pretty common, is see a lot. Very cool, nonetheless

Stotty · Feb 27, 2011

For me, just a great car... stunning styling and interior, decent dynamics and less common than a DB9 and Conti.

Cool.

motortrend · Feb 27, 2011

COOL, sounds great and looks great, but not that special as for it to be SZ

Shant J. · Feb 27, 2011

I vote cool. I LOVE the design, but hate that they're auto-only.

Jim Prower · Feb 27, 2011

Voted cool, mostly because the Italians can get away with Form over Function in my mind.

Dan_ · Feb 27, 2011

Castriota knows how to design a proper good looking GT car, this is as sexy as a DB9, whithout getting the whole playboy 007-wannabe fame.

Cool, it isn't Sub-Zero just because the Alfa 8C exists and it's the rightful owner of the title when it comes to this FR V8 platform.

Nicksfix · Feb 27, 2011

Luxury performance,right up my alley.

SUBZERO

Leonidae@MFT · Feb 27, 2011

Meh. It's pretty poser car. it looks nice, and it looks fast, but weight and power suggest otherwise.

Joey D · Feb 27, 2011

It's cool, it's a Ferrari for people who aren't massive tools. Plus it looks good, sounds good and apparently is supposed to drive halfway decent too. The thing keeping it out of Sub-Zero range is that is reminds me of a catfish or trout on the front end...much like the Chrysler Concorde.

SRV2LOW4ME · Feb 27, 2011

It got a meh from me. The looks aren't really impressive to me, and although it packs a Ferrari V8, I'll always remember that contraption that Maserati put out with Chrysler back in the 80's. Sure it will make woman take their clothes off as soon as you mention what it is, but those aren't the type of woman I want to be with.

.... it's a Ferrari for people who aren't massive tools.

^^ This 👍

Kakumaki · Feb 27, 2011

Cool for me, it's a big and powerful GT, you can do long trips with it in the maximum confort and it looks damn sexy.

JCE · Feb 27, 2011

Cool, only because of the noise and looks.

bradford · Feb 27, 2011

Looks -

Sound -

Sub-zero.

What? Owning or driving a Ferrari makes you a tool? I can understand that a lot of rich snobs have Ferraris, but they're amazing cars and the stereotype isn't going to hold me back from buying one if I could.

Anyway, I voted 'meh'. It looks very good, but it has a Ferrari V8 and it doesn't perform close to a Ferrari.

In legitimate defense of the car I must point out that outgunning a Ferrari never was a goal for the GranTurismo, I agree, it sucks that this car can't beat a California (Not as sexy, poser car, designed for women, blablabla....) at a track, but there is a whole performance hierarchy within the FIAT group that must be respected.

BigYoSpeck · Feb 27, 2011

Footballers car, uncool.

Keef · Feb 28, 2011

Like Joey said, a Ferrari for people who aren't massive tools. Namely every famous rapper out there. I don't see any celebs driving these things, actually. It's more like a business car. Driven by people you want to be when you grow up.

That should be Maserati's motto.

SuperShouden · Feb 28, 2011

This is one of my favorite cars. I hope it's also a sneak peak of the engineering we can see in future Chrysler cars. In my book, it's sub-zero.

skynyrd · Feb 28, 2011

It's a very...pretty...car and the Ferrari V8 is very nice, but...it's just not sub-zero material for me. It's definitely cool, though.

exigeracer · Feb 28, 2011

Although the QP is a sensational car, I still think it was this car that saved the company from irrelevence, if not bankruptcy.

It's gorgeous in any trim, however I've yet to see one of the convertibles in person.

LP670-4 SV · Feb 28, 2011

Cool for pure fact that it looks the way it look, you can buy the car, prop it onto a wall and it could outshine the Mona Lisa with ease

Not all Ferrari owners are tool, but rich tools do tend to own Ferrari's. Just like playboys tend to own Lamborghini's even though not all Lambo owners would be considered a playboy.
