I chose it… the LC was suppose to be the logical choice. It was my maserati replacement what wouldn’t cost me an arm and a leg, still had an NA v8 and relatively affordable at around 170k after luxury tax, etc. also it’s a drop top so I could replace the motorcycle experience with the car.
Ultimately it fails to capture the maserati essence. It has enough styling and road presence but it doesn’t have that quirky Italian soul. The engine / exhaust sounds good but not as good as the GT. It’s significantly more comfortable than the maz but something is off… it’s missing that something and I don’t even know what the hell it is.
I ultimately wanted a Roma, even with my dealership history and full service record they still told me I needed to wait 1-2 years. I don’t even know if that Roma would satisfy, I got a feeling it probably wouldn’t given my preference for quirky ass cars. But half of that is because I always wanted a Ferrari. Not because it’s a good car or a sensible purchase. It’s more like an aspirational vehicle that will not ultimately satisfy.
