who would buy 'just' a 2006 coupe when the GS is so much better?

There are actually a lot of changes for 06. I hit on these in another post - http://www.maseratiforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=727

not that these are the only changes for 06.. there are a couple more yet to be announced.

The GS styling is a bit over the top (the side sills etc). I think the Coupe is more understated.

The GS interior I don't like. The seats are a nice shape, but I hate the Euro-trash Disco tech fabric, I know you can now get them all leather. The regular coupe leather interior is fantastic.

So, GS has 10HP more, bigger wheels (same for vintage coupe now for 06), better shift software, though 05 models got updates anyway, and....

The 05 coupes also pick up the new rear bumper valance and a very similar front bumper, minus the deeper spoiler of the GS.

OK, I do like the GS centre console, and the sport mode idle on the exhaust.

I specifically chose the Vintage Coupe over the Gransport, but it was the kind of car I was looking for.
