"Just in front of the gearknob is an unusual touch-pad control for heating and ventilation and, just above that, a quaint **** ***** that more resembles bed-side tableware than a dash fitting." "A central console houses the efficient air-conditioning controls which can be set to either manual or automatic temperature level, and also a row of push buttons for secondary controls. Above this the pretty but impossible to read Maserati
*****." "Dominating the fascia
is the most kitsch object on any modern car, with the possible exception of the Texan buckle badge
on the front of the Nissan Infiniti: a '**** *****' after the style of Salvador Dali which looks
as if is about to melt and slide down on to the carpet." "Authentic Maserati interior features sumptuous leather, thick carpets and that **** ***** that seems to belong on somebody's mantelpiece." "Inside, the leather and
finery is marred to an extent by poor ergonomics and suspect switchgear. You could be forgiven
for thinking that the '**** *****' would be more appropriate for your mantelpiece than a 150mph sports
car." "The cabin offers the
traditional Maserati luxury with every detail created and finished with a craftsman's meticulous
care. There are acres of fine leather ... and that wonderful '**** *****'." "The interior of the
Maserati is simply stunning. Hand-stitched leather by the herd, Alcantara suede by the acre, a
forest of highly polished wood and that so seductive central '**** *****' are enough to convert
a Marxist into a Thatcherite capitalist in an instant." "One of the main reasons
for buying the outwardly understated Biturbo is the interior. A few had loose-tuck velour, most have
leather, all have air conditioning. Make sure it's good enough for you. The fabulous dash mounted
'**** *****' costs a fortune to replace." "It might give you an idea
of what the Maserati Ghibli Cup is like when I tell you that there's an obscene '.... .....' in
the middle of the dashboard, and it shouldn't be there. This ghastly object should be gracing
the marble fireplace of some Vatican banquet hall, but it's standard equipment in all current
Maseratis" "Momo wheel, drilled
pedals and carbon-fibre trim are slightly at odds with the '**** *****' on the fascia, which looks
like the sort of thing Peter Stringfellow (an English night club owner) wears on his wrist." "The interior is a feast
of magnolia leather, polished wood and Alcantara. The '**** *****' looks as if it came from a jeweller
and the wooden steering wheel from a gentleman's club." "The stripped out interior
of this ex-Maserati Ghibli Open Cup racer still carried the famous '**** ****'. At least it
produced better times than the car did!" "A Trident replaces the
famous central '**** *****' - a nice touch ten years ago but a little too baroque after such a long time
in this modern architecture." "Of course, the Connolly
leather dashboard remained (with carbon-fibre inserts where the wood usually lived) as did the
'**** *****', for reasons best left to Maseratis themselves." "If missing the famous (and garish) oval dash-mounted ***** costs £500 to replace."  ...and finally 'Biturbo quote of the decade!' "La lamiera è troppo buona, non sa dir no alla ruggine." "The sheet metal is too nice, it just can't say no to rust."
