I'll be honest... I'm not really a Maserati fan. However, I do think this is lovely news. I can already think of the Maseratis that run (or ran?) in FIA GT, not to mention Risi Competizione racing that Maserati MC12 in the ALMS, though not for points with all that controversy about it. I even recall the Maserati Trofeo Light that raced in the Rolex Sportscar Series in 2003 (the first year of the Daytona Prototype). Be interesting to see what Maseratis get face time for Gran Turismo 5.
I find it a bit funny if Maserati doesn't include the Maserati GranTurismo (not including a car that has the same name as the name of your game!). There are some Maseratis I'm starting to like nowadays. The GranTurismo is a beautiful car with a healthy dose of elegance and power. Guess it's time to get a wishlist going if you love Maserati!

We're talking about Polyphony here....
Yes, but just because one acquires the license to use a logo, doesn't mean one has acquired to the right to use the cars.
Unless, someone has found a Maserati in GT PSP.

Well actually yes, EA must have the rights to it to include it in their game. That doesn't mean the rights are exclusive. I know what you meant though and you are correct with the rest of what you said. Not every license is an exclusive license, if they were then you'd never find the same cars, tracks, racing teams or brands being represented in more than one companies games at any time. Some companies negotiate exclusive licenses, but most don't. I would imagine trying to negotiate an exclusive license it much more expensive than just a general license.

Agree 👍
And we already have seen PD take some pics of the Maserati Spyder!
Remember Maserati presently is from Ferrari, and that is important, because PD can more easily negociate licenses.

No not really, just because Maserati is owned by Ferrari that doesn't make Maserati any easier or harder to license. It still depends on an agreement being made between PD and Maserati. As I said in the post I quoted below, it was true that having a license to a parent comapny amde it easier to get the licenses to the other companies then we'd have seen Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini and others a long time ago.

It is a Maserati logo. You can clearly see it here

Zoom into the picture to get a better look. The car in the ad is a Maserati Gran Turismo
And, there is a Bentley ad above which appears to be a Continental.

We know that it's a Maserati ad and a Bentley ad, you're a bit late to be pointing that out. The posters are there in real life, as shown already in this thread.

It's definitely a Quattroporte.
I would love to tune it and throw it around the track in GT5!
A professor at my work has this exact car in gun metal grey and drives it to work everyday, so beautiful. Yesterday someone in a crappy Toyota Corolla took his parking space right in front of him so he got pissed and mashed the throttle and zoomed down the parking lot, man I could hear it from far away, it sounded so nice and looked great flying down the open parking lot at high speed. As he walked in the building I gave him a thumbs up and he started laughing.
