Maserati Ghibli
In a segment dominated by Germans automakers, the Maserati Ghibli stands out. Its decidedly Italian style turns heads while its twin-turbo V6—which delivers between 345 and 404 horsepower depending on the version—releases a sound that would do Pavarotti proud. The so-called entry-level Ghibli is a rear-wheel drive while the more powerful S Q4 has all-wheel drive. Both come with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Special shout out to the optional 1,280-watt sound system.
