One of the things that persuaded me to go for the Porsche (besides the fact that car looks so good) was strong residuals and relative scarcity.
As good as the Merc may be, ultimately the Merc is a mass produced brand and to me that devalues the entire range. As awesome as some of their cars might be, I’d never swap my Porsche for a similar priced Merc.

Back to Maserati residuals, I see on the TV ads tonight you can now rent one from Sixt for £79 a day.........slippery slope when a manufacturer starts into the daily rental market.

I guess you won't be buying a Cayman / 911( depending on model spec) as they have the same 'design fault'. Only it's not a fault.
Do a search on 'ackermann steering' if you want to know more.

That’s true ... After gladly handing back the keys after a GLC Amg, weekend, I was a bit red faced when the caymans Iv had on loan , had the same . However I will say I had no confidence in corners in the GLC it just didn’t feel right.

I believe it's much worse on the GLC, especially the 43 and 63. And it doesn't occur on LHD GLC's, hence it's reasonable to describe it as a design fault on RHD models. There is a small change in steering geometry between LHR and RHD vehicles which causes the RHD models to be outside the Ackermann range under certain conditions. You can google "Mercedes Crabbing" to see the myriad of complaints and referrals to the motoring Ombudsman. MB have been trying to mask the issue by fitting all weather tyres, with mixed success depending on the temperature. I test drove a 43 and the crabbing was terrible. So bought a Macan S and have experienced no such issues.
