5:48 As an FCA technician, you have no idea how much I appreciated that.

"We've got the combined reliability of FCA and an Italian sports car maker" 😂😂

I love extra throttle house! The personal, buddy like conversations just talking cars! I love it

I love the emotional part of Maseratis (sound and engine, not when it breaks), but I could never justify getting one. Thanks for the video, lads

I live in South Korea and I am the owner of Levante GTS.. Maserati must be the best car of my life. But I am so angry that people who have never ridden in South Korea curse Maserati.. Thank you so much for your reviews

“It’s not the money....it’s the money”- James, and my bookie.

These guys just have a fantastic relationship, which really keeps you engaged throughout the video. They are the true new "Car Talk" brothers through in through.

I currently own a 2017 levante with the twin turbo v6 engine and let me say I absolutely love it. They are truly underrated cars and they are truly amazing. In addition to that it is the most elegant car I have ever driven

One thing I love about Maseratis.. The exhaust note is perfect!!!

[doggedlydetermined]

These sound unbelievable in person. Incredible all around suv, but you’re paying for it no question.

I daily-drive that exact vehicle and have owned it for 2 years completely trouble-free. It's a gem and it's wildly underrated!!! I've owned or leased a Range Rover Sport Autobiography, a Porsche Cayenne S, a few BMW X5's ...the Levante GTS is more fun than any of those. The engine and exhaust notes are sublime and better than any of these other SUV's. Sure, if you compare it to a Cayenne Turbo it'll lose on the track - but how many people do you know of track these vehicles?? I certainly don't. BTW, I hear the parts bin argument - I couldn't care less. The interior is luxurious, the finishings are very nice and the infotainment simpler to use than the others I've mentioned above. Give this SUV a look if you're in the market for a performance SUV.

“underrated” is one of the best ways to describe Maserati. I love them more and more as a company and think they are doing well and will continue to. I feel that they are a drivers car, not a sit in and get a massage and have tons of fancy gizmos and gadgets. They are driver focused. I, for one, don’t mind parts coming from other cars. I’ll just be there smiling with my Ferrari engine.

As said on Top Gear “Kabang is the noise the car makes when the warranty goes out”

BY FAR the best car review show on video of any my favourite utoob show as well.

Haters saying that is going to break have now idea how good this new platform is and hasn't owned one. I have the Levante Modena with the Twin Turbo 3.0 V6 430HP with 60k miles and 0 issues with the car.
