Grand Illusion: Sports car style, luxurious coupe-about-town comfort
Italian is a wonderful language, with rich, mellifluous syllables that roll around the tongue like vintage wine, making the mundane sound magical, the descriptive delightful. Maserati Quattroporte sounds like someone spent a lot of time finding a cool name for a hugely charismatic luxury sedan. Actually, they named it for what it is: a four-door. Same goes for the new Maserati GranTurismo. It is, literally, a grand tourer. It is not a sports car.
