2009 Frankfurt Auto Show: Maserati GranCabrio

Gran Turismo prf 950.jpg

We were going to title this post "2009 Frankfurt Auto Show: Maserati GranCabrio and the Lady in the Flouncy Nightie." But that wouldn't fit in the headline.

Now we're all for a woman getting her job done. But come on, can we see the car a little bit? It's a nice-looking thing, this GranCabrio, a soft-top version of the four-seat GranTurismo. The long-wheelbase four-seater brings a level of grace to the segment that seems to have gone missing. Even the Mercedes-Benz SL, once a paragon of restrained elegance, has gone all hard-edged.

This little number hits U.S. dealers just in time for the top-down season beginning next spring. But let's not take this restraint thing too far. The car will be powered by a 433-hp 4.7-liter V8.

Maybe Ms. Flouncy Nightie would like to get in the car. Just an idea.
