    Although it is a gorgeous car, I wish they could change the body style more than they have.

    No matter what people say about the Quattroporte, I'm still head over heels for it.

    Not happy with the sound of AWD.

    That said, has anyone tried swapping in a manual transmission into the current Quattroporte? That sounds delicious.

    For you guys in warm climates without snow I can see why AWD does nothing for you, but for us who live where snow comes every year AWD in the QP would be amazing. I hope they make it an option and not standard though?

    Is the picture in the original post what the actual 2012 QP will look like?
