Ferrari and Maserati are like bread and butter, basically the companies are one and the same. Maserati used to be the 'exclusive' brand with less of them being produced than Ferrari's but this is no longer true.

For a long time both brands rolled out of the same factory and Maserati engines are really Ferrari engines de-tuned and rebadged, the testing for both brands still happens at Fiorano.

Servicing equipment is the same and so are the techs so it just makes sense to integrate the 2 brands right down to the dealer level, having F&M dealers is basically the accepted standard.
