Unhappy please help me change my mind

My Dear Fellow 991 owners,

I fell for the Maserati levante S ( awesome SUV) and traded my Cayenne GTS for it. Now I have another dilemma which I am sure you guys can guess what it is and I do not even want to think about doing it. This beautiful Gran Turismo MC ( best edition ) has been flirting with me. I know Maseratis are not as reliable as P cars but this Italian beauty has been on my mind. Please help me with this dilemma. I own a 991.1S CAB which I love driving. I am hoping some of you might have or have had one before. I would appreciate it if you share your experiences with me. I am open to all your comments. Thanks.

LOL wrong forum to get positive responses. But here's one fact, if you are about reliability and just as importantly, depreciation Maserati's are sorta the worst cars to get. BUT if you don't care about either. ENJOY the Italian Beauties.

Buy the Gran Turismo MC, and since you have not paid for a membership here you should have no regrets.

They sound good, look sexy, but I get the feeling they leave a lot of people flat in a short period of time. Resale is horrible, but the huge discounts are the lure. If you must, lease it. Suggest you hang onto the 991, as you may not have the Maserati that long.

So, consider the Maserati as a mistress?

You totally read my mind, but as this is a "family" forum, I toned it down.

The beauty of it is only skin deep to me. 911 is way more than that.

Stick with the Porsche. Personally, I have never liked the design of the Gran Turismo. I think the profile looks off, with the a-pillar coming down too low, seemingly pinching the car's dimensions where the front end meets the door. I dunno, maybe it's me (obviously this is all subjective), but to me a Porsche looks a whole lot better.

The Maserati sounds nice, that I agree with. Not sure how it drives, but I'd imagine not nearly as well as a 911.

That Italian Beauty has a face for radio - sounds good and you don’t have to look at it!

Isn't a Maserati just a glorified Dodge?

Probably in the same way that Porsche and Lamborghini are "glorified Volkswagens"... just sayin'.
