Hey, youse guyz.. have I not mentioned here ( and several times ! ) that in spite of all that Maserari offers, I still prefer driving the 968 ?! In fact , it's not even close. Yes it's stunning, it's faster, has one of the most incredible exhaust notes on the planet , it's more luxurious, has a lot more tech features ( yuk, I could not care less for that crap ) and yet, no way, no how does it become " one with the driver " and give you the feedback and sensation the 968 does .
Same thing with British cars ..I was considering an Aston Martin DB 9 before I bought the Maserati , drove it for an entire week, and it only made me realize that while they are perfectly fine as daily drivers, they are not FUN drivers like a 968 is. I do realize that being a much , much lighter car vs the other two contributes to that , but I've driven even lighter cars than the 968 and they still did not have that special bonding effect our cars provide ... maybe Miatas or RX7s may feel similar to some, I have driven both , albeit very briefly , and they were " fun " but for me still a missing a lot that might have put them even in the same league with the 968.
There you go, we covered diversity without necessarily offending any of the two other ethnicities ( Italian or British ) .
