Deleted: However, it was essentially a BMW M3 rival and did not fare well against the German car. This is an opinion. The Q'porte 3.2 was about 50% more expensive than the M3 and aimed at another market segment ... more the 5-series V8-customer who was looking for something different. --NicolasCH 11:36, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Clean-up

  • I removed the "Future" section on a rumored future Quattroporte model. The paragraph itself even stated the rumor could be false, making it not suitable for Wikipedia. I added a reference section as well which I encourage editors to add to. With referencing, copy-editing, and removal of POV, this could become a fantastic Quattroporte article. - Bobo is soft 07:07, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
  • The Maserati Quattroporte III article has been merged and redirected into the Maserati Quattroporte III section in this article. Since the other article was small and some info overlapped, merging them together in this article seemed appropriate. - Bobo is soft 21:01, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Success in Popular Culture

I have added this section as I believe that the success of the Quattroporte in popular culture is beneficial to the current status of the QP. It was compiled from trivia on the Maserati page and trivia that was previously deleted from this article. I don't disagree with the fact that the trivia was deleted from the page, but as stated above I believe that it is extra information that displays the success of the Quattroporte, among other things. I know that Wikipedia doesn't like users changing Trivia sections into Pop Culture sections, but i have changed it from just stating facts, to proper sentence form. Does anyone agree or disagree with what I've done?

I have also changed some of the formating around so that all images lie within their respected sections and added more in the current QP section (QP5, 2004-on). I would like to know if it is any better now? And, how are the additions to trim levels, competitors, and transmissions
