Well let me start by saying how much I love this forum and all the members. I am a daily visitor to the forum for the last two years and enjoy the conversations/insight on our glorious automobiles. That said I had a bit of a detour to the dark side, after my lease ran out on my 2002 coupe I leased a new Cayman S. The Cayman is a great car handles like nothing I had ever driven, ok sound (not great at all) but that’s my opinion the automotive press seems to love it. But I was never thrilled, excited, or passionate about the experience with the car. I remember the feeling driving off the lot as being so/so, not the thrill I had taking the coupe home. Well after 5mo I could not take it any more and picked up a 2005 GS and dropped off the Cayman (+ 4K) returned to the world of passion. So many members of this forum have commented on the difference between a fast car and a great experience, this is the core of what a Maserati is PASSION. The heart racing feeling as you pass by the garage (I turn the light when I get home just for the feeling it gives me) the craftsmanship and the incredible sound of the motor/exhaust. All I can say is it’s good to be back… real good.
