Opinions Please: New Car For My Dad :: Ghibli/CLS/550i?

Hey guys! How is everyone doing? What about that M2?! Looks amazing!

But, I'll get down to why I'm really here. My dad's lease on his 2013 SL550 (pictured below) is up soon.





He is planning on getting something new. He is getting older and doesn't drive that much, but he still wants something new and sporty, but definitely less expensive.

He is pretty hooked on getting the Maserati Ghibli SQ4 since it's something new and a bit more rare. He will probably get that unless there are any glaring red flags (I'm sure some of you here have driven it/own one? I know it is a car that may even be cross-shoped with a loaded M3 sedan). The other two cars he is interested in are the Mercedes CLS 550 (the current refresh) and the F10 (*NOT the new G chasis) BMW 550i.

Give me some opinions guys! And let me know if there are other cars (with similar deals to the above mentioned) that he may be interested in.

(1) 2015 MY Maserati Ghibli SQ4
-3.0L Twin Turbo V6 404hp/406tq 8-speed auto ~4150lbs.

(2) 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLS 550 (not 4MATIC)
-4.7L Biturbo V8 402hp/443tq 9-speed auto ~4233lbs.

(3) 2016 BMW 550i sedan
-4.4L TwinPower Turbo V8 445hp/480tq 8-speed auto ~4365lbs.
*I know this car is on the way out... so deals will probably be good on a loaded one, but a new G-chassis 5 series is right around the corner...
