TOP 5  -  2009 Maserati GranTurismo is like Demi in a black dress



After a day of having the extraordinary and rare opportunity to drive the 2009 Maserati GranTurismo S in Modena, Italy (home of Pavarotti, Parmigiano and Balsamic vinegar), I was approached by one of the key technicians for the Maserati.

A vintage year: that's what pundits hope for, if not expect, from the 2008 British International Motor Show at ExCeL in London's Docklands.
