One of the most beautiful cars ever made. Funny how you always point to things as odd or strange, but everything need the perspective of the initial design area. Unlabelled switches and buttons, check, you have the manual for that and the dealer to explain. The interior is amazingly beautiful. Keep driving the car and suddenly youll see all buttons and switches are exactly there where needed when driving. The back is perfectly done when seeing it from the right perspective. Building a car has an order. So the carpeting is pure logic and efficient. Filling up the holes with cushions is a great idea, for noise reduction. The fact you can take them out for convenience of space is genius. Air vents in the back? Brilliant. The speed when driving will create different air pressure between the interior and outside world thus sucking out used air from the interior. And some other things. its just design Who cares the headrest only has two useable settings. When taking it out it is symmetrical. Design. This is one of the most most beautiful cars ever made. Sometimes one just has to drop the ego and needed comfort. A car is made for emotions, driving, enjoyment, love.

Its European. Caps over the holes left, where the window wineder used to be, when fitting electric windows was fairly standard on all cars. Also hazard warning lights were not standard untill didn't later. And very few cars had any labels for what switches did. Only Rally cars so the crew didn't have to think about pointless things. Also explains why the owner's manuals were so comprehensive. Here in England they were still selling cars in the early seventies that will had a heater and carpet on the floor along with a passenger side door mirror all as optional extras

Maserati is just crap now, and the only reason they have any cultural relevance anymore is that the name appears in songs because it sounds exotic and rhymes with a lot of words. There's a reason that the 3 year old maseratis have a lower retail value than a loaded Toyota RAV4. If you drive a maseratis, you don't care about cars or performance or luxury, you are a poser trying to impress strangers who think that you drive an expensive car. So you buy it and hope they never realize it cost less than their mom's RAV4.

I guess I cant rely on his reviews as he is clearly biased. He says this car was great in its time when the fact that they didnt even name the switches clearly shows how much thought was put into the assembly. On the other hand, if you try to objectively evaluate his AMG GLE63 review, he makes fun of the cars shape and that is literally the only thing he could make fun of. The caption reads everyone hates it, but clearly it is only his personal bias.

Actually, that trunk latch isn't that bad, I have 2002 Skoda Fabia (comfort) and it has similar latch too (but it has also button in the back, but my friend has a 2004 Skoda Fabia with lower trim level (classic) and he has just the latch in driver's door - in 2004. Fabia trim levels: Junior --> Classic --> Comfort (Ambiente) --> Attractive --> Elegance. Junior for instance didn't have power steering or glowbox door and it had black bumpers

Yes but I remember buying Road and Track's guide to GT cars back in 1970 as a high schooler and they pointed out that the Maserati Indy had hard plastic material on the backside of the upright portion of the seats with rows of vent holes drilled in them. Crooked rows of holes. As though the worker that drilled them had too much vino during lunch. The shoddiness of those holes was ridiculous.

Pop-up headlights: The urban legend is that GM, to counter the market share Corvette was losing to the Jag XKE, simultaneously developed the pop-up lights for the Vette and lobbied the government to ban glass or plastic headlight covers. Thus, the 66' XKE was slightly uglier without the headlight covers. By the 80s, Car & Driver commented that a Maserati is the best car to give up in a divorce.

Ahahahaahhaahah I couldn't stop laughing my ass off all the time (and I'm Italian. Yes, there have been times when we used to build cars literally without giving a single fck about their everyday usage lol. That's part of the charm. PS have you noticed that the internal door handle is the very same from the Lamborghini Espada?

Is it just me or was old maserati just as shit as the new stuff, but many of us just have rose tinted glasses for the classics. I'm not sure the Dodge Dart switches are worse than the unlabeled nightmare that came with this car. And the engineering in the back seat area? Seems like Maserati was always trash.

Maserati may have decided that omitting labels made the car equally suitable for people in different countries. On the other hand, Top Gear suggested that Italian instrument labels are designed by an Italian who doesnt rely on research, he just puts controls wherever he thinks they should be.
