In this review, Doug DeMuro delves into the enigmatic world of the 2002 Maserati coupe, a car that oozes Italian flair and sophistication. With a roaring V8 engine churning out close to 400 horsepower, this Maserati is not just a car; it's a statement. Priced at a mere 15 to 20 grand, it's a steal for those seeking a taste of luxury on a budget. But this is no ordinary Italian stallion; it's a reincarnation of Maserati's glory days in the US market after a lengthy hiatus.

Designed by the legendary Juaro, the Maserati coupe boasts sleek lines and a timeless elegance that harks back to a bygone era of automotive design. From the unique fuel door placement to the intricate stitching on the leather interior, every detail exudes craftsmanship and luxury. The blue key, a nod to Maserati's special color, adds a touch of exclusivity to the ownership experience. Inside, the car is a blend of opulence and oddities, with mirror controls placed in an unusual spot and a trunk release button hidden in the glove box.

The driving experience of the Maserati coupe is equally intriguing, thanks to its Cambio Corsa transmission system and paddle shifters. While the infotainment system may feel dated by modern standards, it's a reminder of a simpler time in automotive technology. Overall, Doug's review paints a vivid picture of a car that combines performance, luxury, and idiosyncrasies in a way that only an Italian thoroughbred can. The Maserati coupe is not just a car; it's a work of art on wheels, a testament to Maserati's heritage and legacy in the world of high-performance automobiles.
