I think you nailed it. My son's friend's dad had one of those... this was circa 2016... don't know if he still has it. He's Italian... actual Italian not Italian-American. Accent, Maserati, marble busts in foyer of his house, the whole 9 yards. Great guy.

For an Italian car it never looked great to my eye. Too much length mass, too long.

So wait you're saying Maserati is not correct? If that's the case, Aston Martin.

This looks like the car the Italian had, yes. It was for sure a Maserati, like Joe Walsh drove... or rather didn't drive, back in his day.

It's an Aston Martin Rapide S. Very elegant, very expensive, and I don't think they made many.
