Maserati manages to ruin Quattroporte's good looks with a facelift... only a bit
The S version gets 425hp 4.7L V8.
ZF 6 Speed Automatic
I'm officially sick of seeing LEDs on every new car.
And those rear lights = Daewoo Nubira

I knew straight away before opening this thread, that this was you thread Heil. .. I LOL at your thread titles. 
I don't really see many of the styling differences.  I always thought it was a relatively sedately-styled car. This one looks good too.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of LED lights. I read a review of the A4, where a reviewer complained that the LED running lights were a $2000 option because he liked them so much. I almost vomited.
Regardless of the LEDs, I've always liked the Quattroporte and this one is still good.

LEDs looked fine on KITT, but that was a TV show, not real-life.

The LED is good in this update.. Most new Add on Design LED look out of place...

LED's have a far lower failure rate then traditional incandescents .... as in.... the difference is that the physical LED will last 50+ years.... the circuit board they are on will fail before the LED does, and that will still last a VERY long time. They are, or shortly will be cheaper to replace then HID's even.
Eventually all lights on, and in the car will be replaced by them as the cost continues to drop on them.
I think stylists have gone a little nuts with using an array of LED's as running lights in goofy ways (read 911 Turbo, and Audi R8) ... that wont be changing anytime soon.
