"Fiat sold a 50% share in Maserati to its long-time arch-rival Ferrari" Hmmmm - there I was thinking Fiat OWNED Ferrari... or did the author mean historically rivals? Graham 03:56, 13 Jan 2004 (UTC)

The author meant that MASERATI and Ferrari were historically rivals. —Morven 08:11, 13 Jan 2004 (UTC)

The sentence should be reworded then, since the "its" is not clear - whether it is referring to Maserati or Fiat. I read it as Fiat - since Fiat is the subject of the sentence, the "its" must be referring to Fiat. Graham 00:10, 14 Jan 2004 (UTC)

We need an article about the fab 3500GT and 5000 GT> those are some of the most special models (with custom bodies) built. The Shah of Iran had one of those. --Bud 09:27, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

The Orsi Ownership section uses the future tense to describe what happened in the past. I think this should be changed. Akillen (talk) 21:07, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Why don't quote MASERATI's motto "Excellence Through Passion"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.156.35.239 (talk) 18:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Maserati's Competitors

I have changed Maserati's competitors from Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Maybach to Aston Martin, Jaguar, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW. My reasoning is because the Coupe/Spyder/GranTourismo are pinned against the SLK/CL, V8 Vantage, 6-Series, and the XK. Also, the Quattroporte competes against the A8, S-Class, XJ, 7-Series and the up-and-coming Rapide. In many markets Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Maybach's are 3 or 4 times the price of any Maserati vehicles. I believe these manufacturers to be their true competitors, and I would never downgrade Maserati's quality or ability in the luxury market as I am a Maseratisti. What do others think? mattytay 18:36, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
