Alfa Romeo Giulietta by Maserati to be Used as a Courtesy Car for the Trident Brand's Dealerships

Collaborations between two companies that belong in the same group is a common practice. However, platform or parts sharing, or even badge engineering, is not the only form of a partnership.

In 2008, Ferrari chose a limited edition of the Fiat 500 as a courtesy car for its customers. Now, two more brands of the Fiat group have emulated the Ferrari-Fiat move. Maserati has chosen Alfa Romeo's C-segment hatchback, the Giulietta, as a courtesy car for its clients in Europe.

Geneva, Switzerland — Is this the car that will sway even the most ardent Ferrari owner? With a dynamic new design that propels the increasingly popular Italian sports car maker into the modern era, this car is already making waves just weeks after its debut in Switzerland for the Geneva Motor Show.

Though it's not quite as quick as a Lamborghini Gallardo or a Ferrari F430, the new GranTurismo from Maserati has its sights set on vehicles like the Porsche Carrera 911, the BMW M6 Coupe and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. And while those three vehicles are often labelled as beautiful sports tourers, Maserati has created something quite capable of outshining them.
