Maseratis aren’t exotic cars though, that’s the thing. They’re mediocre luxury cars marketed as exotic cars. You can get a new Maserati for less than a new BMW M3. Not exactly exotic car territory.

Whilst I agree, it seems non-car-folks seem to relate them to ~Ferrari levels. I.e. expensive, rare, etc.

That entirely depends on the models. People who only know brands aren't "car" people anyway, and price isn't a great comparison.

Modern Maserati's are great driving cars with Ferrari heritage (and engines) that do command more prestige than a typical M or AMG model, especially in the Trofeo versions.
