View Full Version : Maserati Quattroporte Wagon FeZ 10-05-2004, 02:12 AM http://www.colognewideweb.de/cars/quattroporte.jpg What you think, hot or not ? EDIT: Strange I wanted to add a poll, but IE closed down when selecting it (it did still post the thread) Bug or feature ? VQ 10-05-2004, 02:49 AM Pretty good, much better imo then a 4x4 version. chris 10-05-2004, 03:52 AM No, I don't like it particularly much. Just the standard Quattroporte will be fine. The other thing is that it is not a Quattroporte. Count the number of doors on it, and it can not be a Quattroporte - simple as that. FeZ 10-05-2004, 04:14 AM LOL you are right chris. It's a Cinqueporte, now that does not sound good, sounds too much like Cinquecento :) VQ 10-05-2004, 04:20 AM what does Cinquecento mean? I can't be bothered asking my Mum, or is it another car? chris 10-05-2004, 04:24 AM Cinqueporte does sound rather awkward. But then so does 3200 GT when said in English language. But say 3200 in Italian and it flows smoothly. But really, Maserati doesn't need a station wagon. 4-doors and grand-touring coupés are what it does best. Cars like the normal Q-Porte, and the 3200/4200 Coupés. I don't know about others here, but every time I see a 3200 GT, I stop to admire the beauty of Sig. Giugiaro's flawless design-work, and savour the sound of a Maserati Biturbo 4AC-32V engine. chris 10-05-2004, 04:24 AM what does Cinquecento mean? I can't be bothered asking my Mum, or is it another car? It means 500, if I'm not mistaken. Cinque meaning 5, and cento meaning hundred. Fiat used the Cinquecento name plate for a long while, and later also Seicento (600). Not that the 600 has 6, nor 600 of anything particularly useful, although the sporting version will hustle along at a feisty for its size 175km/hr. :) FeZ 10-05-2004, 04:25 AM Cinquecento means 500 in italian :) and 500 ccm was the engine size of the Fiat Cinquecento http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/fiat500canada/img/frey-500.jpg FeZ 10-05-2004, 04:34 AM But say 3200 in Italian and it flows smoothly. Everything sounds smoothly in Italian :) Tremille-docento Gran Turismo It really gets funny when saying stuff like 512 BBi or 288 GTO in Italian. Lets see cinquecento-dodici Berlinetta Boxer Injecione and docento-ottanta-otto Gran Turismo Omolagoto. I am a bit rusty in Italian, so I am not cento % certain its correct ;) VQ 10-05-2004, 04:39 AM yep thought so I read a joke about that car once, the cops booked a guy with a quattro for only carrying 2 people while another guy had one of them with one person in it! anyway lame joke how I wrote it, prolly read it on here. I get you now, but yeah, it mightn't be a good idea to name it that. lewi 10-05-2004, 06:05 AM Personally, Sedan or Wagon i don't like it that much..the front looks a little "mashed-styled" not exact enough for my liking chris 10-05-2004, 06:17 AM Hmm, is this Quattroporte wagon a photoshop or not? blackice111288 10-05-2004, 07:39 AM But really, Maserati doesn't need a station wagon. 4-doors and grand-touring coupés are what it does best. Cars like the normal Q-Porte, and the 3200/4200 Coupés. amen to that. thats like Porshe with SUV's, even tho the cayenne performs well, its a truck. when has porsche made anything except good looking, great handling driving machines (cars)? thats like ferrari with a SUV ^_^ VQ 10-06-2004, 12:34 AM That does seem pretty hard to say then, but Italian seems to flow off my tongue regardless of the fact I don't know it. I don't think it's a photoshop, the glass is way to different for it. and how come all the posts are muddled up? |
