TL with a subdued grille? by ateixeira

Not sure what model it was, but I saw a TL with a darker grille, not sure if it was body color or gunmetal (the car was a dark silver metallic, so it blended in).
 
Looked SOOOOO much better than the toothy chrome grille on the regular ones.

Saw one of these with a revised set of taillights. My guess is I saw my first 2010 model 3 series.
 
I didn't like it - odd shapes to the taillights. They updated what didn't need updating.

Every few days an older guy in a late model Quattroporte drives up my street. This thing has some kind of custom exhaust - I can hear it coming from 2 or 3 blocks away. Every time I hear it I expect to see a car go past at about 100mph - but he's just cruising along at 30mph or so. I don't know if that would get annoying or not.

Speaking of Quattroporte, I was watching the Running Man not long ago on DVD and apparently in the future (in about 7-10 years), rich tv stars will drive limo versions of old Quattroportes:

LOL...that thing makes me laugh. Something an oil-rich 80s Sheikh would ride in.
 
It certainly isn't on the road today.

That's gotta be a one off, and you're right, it's probably abandoned somewhere in an LA backyard or garage.

Would have been a good Cash for Clunkers candidate. I am surprised Maserati hasn't offered to buy back all 80s models simply to destroy the evidence.
 
Today, I saw what I am pretty sure was a CL65 AMG rather than a CL63, which I see now and then. The trim and wheels seemed a little different. What a big sexy tank...grille and headlights seem a little odd to me sometimes, but I wouldn't kick it out of my garage.
 
Also saw an X6, white.

Love the CL, very menacing. Gobs of class.

Saw not one but two of these driving home yesterday.
 
Then I saw a Maserati coupe. Boy have they come a long way since the 80s.
 
Coming in this morning saw yet another new Prius. They're all over the place here in DC.

in the news. Someone here crashed a new GT-R by driving it into a bank. What a waste. I have a feeling it was a young spoiled kid (we have many of them in Vancouver).
