Albeit, I don’t have much constructive to say here, but I will say, I waited 20 months for my car. I’m now six months in to my ownership, and the honeymoon continues…so worth the wait and cost. I fully agree that we should expect and deserve far better communication with the production and transportation process, and it really frustrated me until my dealer told me a bit about Masersti corporate and the fact they are a pretty small company (yes, it didn’t make it right that I received little or no status updates from Maserati for months, especially when Amazon can tell me where a $3 pen refill is in transit), but it did register with me that they are much smaller (and hence resource-limited) company than their brand would indicate. Im not making excuses for them, just passing on what I was told.
As for the video review that was posted, I watched a couple minutes of it, as it seemed to be another person who wants to be a car-tuber. So many manufacturers share parts that it’s pretty rare to not see that. As for my MC20, I didn’t see anything that bothered me compared to my 2022 Lavante, but with the MC20, the interior is very business-like and spartan, so I’m not sure how there could be a lot of complaints…the door “handle/release” is a button (not on other Maseratis that I’ve seen)…the radio and AC controls are all through the center “screen/iPad”…the paddles weren’t on my Lavante…the wiper stalk might be the same, but i’ve never used it, and maybe the window buttons are the same, but aren’t they the same in all cars? LOL. The engine is Different…same with seats..,wheels…body…ride…handling…acceleration…carbon roof, doors, etc. I think the Maserati emblems are the same though, but that’s certainly by design. I’m amazed and fascinated by the car every day, but I’ve never driven a Bugatti or anything that’s over $1M. It compares very favorably in my experiences to McLaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston, and Porsche (all of which I’ve owned or driven on tracks) with a closer comparison to the first three, but at a lower price point, more limited production, and more unique style (I know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I don’t mean to ruffle any feathers here). Bang-for-the-buck, I’ve not seen anything like it (assuming one wants a new car). Just my two cents, which if you add about $6.98, you can get a nice cappuccino at Starbucks in Manhattan! 😎 I hope you all get your cars soon…I found it was about a month after my car landed in port in the US until it made it way from New Jersey to Florida.
