The Maserati GranTurismo occupied a prominent position in Maserati's booth at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show. Beyond its powerful looks, we were taken by the fact that it had hard drive-based navigation and a music server in the dash. Currently, it's the only Maserati to employ this technology, although a Maserati spokesperson told us this system would roll out to the Quattroporte eventually. We took many pictures as we fawned over the car's fluid lines and settled into the luxurious seats.

For the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show, Ferrari showed off two variations on previous models. The 430 Scuderia is based on the F430, but significantly lightened and given a new transmission to give it track performance on par with Ferrari's Enzo model. Where the 430 Scuderia emphasizes performance, the 612 Sessanta emphasizes luxury. The latter is a collector's edition, based on the 612 Scaglietti, marking Ferrari's 60th anniversary.
