I see them a couple of times a week around the Phoenix metro area.

Maserati is commonly seen around where I live. Roughly, a mile from my home a dealership sells them, along with Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, Porsche, etc. The Maserati is the most commonly seen of the exotics on the rode. Aston Martin and Rolls Royce come and go from the dealership and are shipped around to customers via container truck carrier that is enclosed.

Are you not in the tuning business anymore? I decided to buy my new GWagen when I took delivery in the fall of 2017 instead of leasing so I’ve got a couple more years before I’m in the market again. However I’m thinking I might want to add a Porsche 911 to the stable once the GWagen is paid off. I’d love to support a fellow sigforumite and you aren’t crazy far away so I’ll definitely look you up if you’re doing sales now.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

I used to see 1-3 a week, while I was still living in LA.

I don't see them often around here in the winter, but did see a Ghibli the other day driving in the snow.
A used Quattroporte sounds like it could be fun to drive, but I don't think I could afford the maintenance costs.

I'm seeing a lot more these days too in the Philly area, are they trying to get more market share? They've always been a tiny niche brand here.

At Penn State's State College campus my son tells me you would not believe the cars the international students drive (Masareti’s, Lamborghinis, Porsches, MB and Corvettes, mostly custom, also). There was a wreck there last fall where an international student was driving a C7 Corvette and wiped out downtown. "First responders from the Alpha Fire Company initially thought that two vehicles were involved in the crash, and then found that it was one car that had been split into two pieces. " You really have to work hard to get up speed in this particular location-
Yeah we have several high end cars on campus, and whenever I see them I think... "You have that kind of money to blow on a car, but you couldn't get into a better school?"

I seem to run across the same one several times a year. Just saw it a few days ago parked at the local supermarket.

Not ubiquitous, but not uncommon in the north Metro Atlanta area (Alpharetta/Milton, Roswell, etc). Their little crossover SUV and the Quattroporte sedan being the ones I see most often, I think.

Tudor - Rolex
Bentley - Rolls Royce (before very and bmw purchases)
Maserati - Ferrari
My take on brand. Exotic but not up to Ferrari level.

Oddly, yes, I've seen half a dozen in the last couple of months. Could be I've seen the same one more than once. Saw one at the local Wal_Mart. I'm told it's because this is horse country, all the horse farms nearby are owned by folks with money.

Yea, Ferrari / Maserati dealer ship just down the street. See tons of high end cars in the area.
