When we say Maserati, we are actually thinking of an enigma car since the manufacturer has displayed such a low profile especially last year, when they only sold around 6,000 cars world-wide, compared to Toyota, which sells around 27,000 cars a day.

But why the low profile? Are they still going only on exclusive and expensive cars or just preparing a hit for the 2015? Rumors say that the Italian brand is looking for an expansion plan of around 50,000 units next year.
