I'll be much more interested once they offer the next generation of this vehicle, hopefully with an updated transmission. Glad to see they're gaining acceptance in the US.

You'll be waiting a long time. The current model is the second generation and was introduced for 2008. The first generation was produced from 1998-2007.

Thanks Quattroporte - my patience is greater than my tolerance for a lousy transmission. If it takes another decade for the next gen, so be it... as long as the transmission is much improved (i.e. replaced). Although in another decade, who knows what will be on the market?
