Often, when you see a new car in its official press photos and videos for the first time, you often get the impression that you’re seeing it in one specific way, and that your perspective is somewhat limited.
Furthermore, some cars may not look that pretty at first, but once user videos and photos start popping up, showing the shape from different angles and in various lighting conditions, one will get a much better idea of what the specific vehicle’s aesthetic qualities really are.
This happened to me with the all-new Maserati Ghibli, the Trident’s attempt at a more mainstream sedan. When the car first came out, and we had the chance to see the first press photos, some were not convinced by the styling. However, now that it is becoming a more common sight on the web, I’m actually beginning to shift towards liking it, especially after watching it do its thing during the possible shooting of one of its ads, in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
It may have been the striking blue paint, coupled with the reflections provided by the overcast day chosen for shooting, but this will definitely grab your eye when it passes by, certainly a lot more than, let’s say, a BMW 5-Series – facelifted or not. In addition, the three-liter turbocharged V6 doesn’t sound half-bad, easily breathing out through the oversized quad exhausts.
