Maserati released official photos of its sedan, the Ghibli. The car will debut at the Shanghai Auto Show on April 20th.

A beautiful car. What do you think about the name? Can it compete with the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E Class? Maserati's goal is to sell 50,000 of these cars per year by 2015.

-eight speed automatic transmission.
-rear wheel drive or the new Q4 all wheel drive system.
-3 litre turborcharged V6 engines, gas and diesel.

I can see that being very successful. Their only issue will be having a dealer network capable of serving an increased amount of clientele.

This is what I think about the name.

the name sucks...the car is sick but the front end looks to much like the quattroporte

[CorneringArtist]

Don't like the taillights..

[dhari]

Don't like the taillights..

I agree with you. They look too much like every other manufacturers mid-sized vehicle's tail lights. (Kia Optima)

[Akinari]

Not sure about that rear end, looks like a mustache man with a suspicious expression :suspicious:

[TheStig]

Nice! I just hope that it can sound even half as nice at the current V8!

[The_AK]

should have named it Googly-Moogly

[AW607]

If someone mentioned a car named "ghibli", I instantly imagine some sort of goofy looking hatchback that'll look like a fiat 500 :suspicious:

Other than the name, the car looks pretty solid

[Akinari]

Actually, when I saw the rear I instantly thought of this for some reason

I think the exterior looks a lot like an Audi A7. That interior is awesome

I don't know why but the front reminds me of the CX-5...still got the aggresiveness of a Maserati
rear tails make it look cheap tho

[CharlieH]

looks kinda ghey

[Mr.C]

I'd buy that over an E-Class or 5-series any day. So sexy. Except the rear end.. what the heck were they thinking?

[Marshall Placid]

IMHO, the front looks a little like the new BMW 3 series.

But... a little more aggressive.

I agree with many of the responses in that the BACK looks too normal for such an expensive price point.

[boostfever]

i guess youngsters are not much familiar with Maserati's history. original Ghibli

[Akinari]

^was surprised no one mentioned that yet, was waiting for someone to.

[keifun]

How do you pronounce the name? Is the "G" silent?

Hmmm I don't know. I think it's lost some of its bold look

[death_blossom]

front looks fantastic, rear is pretty tame.

but no more v8? :okay:

edit: oops, this isn't a replacement of the Quattroporte. it's a smaller car.

I believe they are replacing the quattroporte with two cars. One smaller then the quattroporte (the ghilbi) and one larger.
