I’ve heard of pocket dogs, but pocket models?
Unless the person taking the picture is on their knees this looks like a CUV/SUV thing. The instrument panel looks huge. Of course if they had just stand up to take the pic we would see more of her legs..and that woulnt be good photography now would it.
She’s cute, but can she even see over the dash?
Women belong in the passenger seat.
She should be careful. If she drops that Maserati Logo it might mar the handcrafted Italian leather dashboard.
Scary
From the Maserati sign in the background and the swoopy window line, I’m guessing the car is a Maserati Gran-Turismo. What you can’t see is that it’s already started to rust and there’s a dozen mechanics trying to get the thing to start.
If you click through to the Maserati site you will see that this picture comes at the end of the description of the new Maserati coupe, right next to a paragraph explaining that Maserati will finally be offering an automatic transmission in the coupe. “The addition of the GranTurismo S Automatic means Maserati’s dynamic coupe range has something for absolutely everyone.”
Oh yeah, and the logo stroking in the picture is pretty creepy also.
I don’t see anything wrong with that picture. It would be way better if it were “clothing optional”. She’s the best looking thing I’ve seen all day.
Man Hands!
The lady lacks bigger boobies.
The trident in the pic seems to be “penetrating” something.
She looks nice, but for that kind of interior I’d have expected a nicer, more elegant lady.
Is it just me or are her arms ridiculously long? They appear to be longer than her body from that pick.
Her legs look awkwardly crossed.
Is that a wedding ring?
It’s the nice brown leather with the light gray headliner color scheme that I don’t understand.
Her eyes don’t go over the steeringwheel. She’s like a granny driving an Oldmobile, all you see are the knuckles on top of the wheel!
Well, I suppose I am being a bore, but -
- The camera is tilted so she looks shorter than the dash. Check the drivers window sill for the proper horizon. I bet the shooter was concentrating on lining up the trident in the background in her hand and lost perspective on the horizon.
- The man hands thing is another perspective problem, both her hands are much closer to the camera relative her face.
Any idea that she is poorly put together is yet another perspective problem, but that’s just in the mind of the beholder. She is a beautiful woman.
Her left hand is indicating the actual size of the typical Maserati driver’s you-know-what….:-D…
Keef ‘Is that a wedding ring?’
If you look at the reflection of her hand in the window, you will see there is no wedding ring on her finger. Amateur. :)
That chick is a dude.
Mike63AMG : It’s the nice brown leather with the light gray headliner color scheme that I don’t understand.
1. That’s number one on my list.
2. Also what’s wrong is the driver is smearing her greasy hand on the windshield. Don’t touch the glass while you pose in the driver’s seat!!
3. She could pass for a ninety something woman in Florida who drives while peering between the dash and the steering wheel.
The camera is tilted so she looks shorter than the dash. Check the drivers window sill for the proper horizon. I bet the shooter was concentrating on lining up the trident in the background in her hand and lost perspective on the horizon.
I’ll bet that the shooter was trying to put the camera in her lap, or at least as close as possible without getting slapped.
Be sure to send pic to Sajeev for his brown car collection.

If I remember correctly, my German relatives have their wedding bands on the right hand… Not sure if that’s consistent throughout Europe, but food for thought.
Also, I like the plastic cowling behind the steering wheel. Just like my Golf!
Man hands!

All a result of using a very wide angle lens to get all of the model and the dash in the picture. The effect, though, is to make the interior look even more cramped and uncomfortable. Hope the thing has height adjustments on the seats.
such a beautiful woman surrounded by such a nasty interior.
Well I don’t see an Adam’s Apple so I guess the man hands are an optical illusion. The perspective looks like it is that of the owner as the Eastern European hooker who is robbing him kicks him out the passenger door.
If she owns a Mas then I don’t see anything wrong with this picture.
LOL-ing at all the comments! The B&B are peaking today.
The ‘holding the Maserati logo’ illusion was a good observation.
Only thing that I see wrong with this picture is that I’m not sitting in the passenger seat. Maserati has the most gorgeous interiors out (sic) there. Sorry Audi.
And, yes, I second the subtle sexism about the automatic now making the GranTurismo available for everyone now.
The pose resembles a model pushing ape hangers on a motorcycle. Jailhouse tats would have made for a more authentic look.
I’m not sitting in the passenger seat.Sad.
Brown and grey interior. All of you should have known.

Ah, but pro’s know that the wedding band is worn on different hands in different cultures and religions.
In some countries, the wedding ring is worn on the left hand. This choice of finger relates to traditions purportedly dating to classical times, from an early usage reportedly referring to the fourth finger of the left hand as containing the vena amoris or “vein of love”[5]. At least in part due to this tradition, it became the norm to wear the wedding ring on this finger. By wearing rings on the fourth finger of their left hands, a married couple symbolically declares their eternal love for each other. This has now become a matter of tradition and etiquette in these countries. An alternative explanation could be that because the majority of people are right-handed, wearing the ring on the left hand makes it less likely to be damaged or lost during everyday activities.
In other countries such as Colombia, Germany, Greece, Mexico, Norway, Peru, Poland, Russia, Spain (except in catalonia), Ukraine, Venezuela and Serbia, however, it is worn on the right hand. Orthodox Christians and Eastern Europeans (except for the Romanians) also traditionally wear the wedding band on the right hand.
It appears that location of sunvisors makes them useless. On the other hand, nothin’ wrong with the babe.
I met this lovely lady in Geneva and I can assure you there is nothing wrong with her, so I guess it must be the stoopid great V8 that is wrong??!!

sutski:
Thanks for clearing things up; she’s quite nice (a bit heavy on the eyeliner), and her hands are just fine – save the wedding ring.
Is there a car in this photo somewhere?
