It seems like only yesterday that the 120-year old manufacturer of some of the world’s most luxurious and high-status symbol vehicles made the decision to build a “high-sided vehicle“, and the accompanying fury in internet comments.

The Grecale is probably the most important Maserati on sale, representing the entry point to trident ownership. Starting at a little over £60,000 it’s the least costly car in the range and is, of course, a family-friendly crossover SUV; if you want to capture sales from other brands, you need one of these in your offerings.

Bentley’s Continental GT is effectively the brand’s “entry level” offering, with the coupe coming in at just over £180,000 ($224,000) before any options. Having originally launched in 2003, as the first new vehicle since the marque became part of the Volkswagen group of companies, it’s now in its third generation.
