The 2009 Maserati GranTurismo has a lot of personality and performance, combined with long-distance grand-touring comfort, but so does the Jaguar XKR.
The Jag costs tens of thousands less, is almost as quick and responsive, and is arguably an even better tourer.
Porsche's 911 is another possibility, but it appeals to a different type of buyer altogether: those who want engineering perfection and the uniquely Porsche driving experience but don't necessarily expect such exclusive materials inside.
The new Ferrari California is an alternative, but it's more expensive and many don't think it's as attractive as the GranTurismo, even if it does have the prancing horse.
Those really keeping all the options open might want to take the Audi S5 for a spin; it costs half as much as the GranTurismo, yet its interior is nearly as stunning.
The bottom line for Maserati GT buyers will be exclusivity, though; for the price, you can't do much better on Rodeo Drive.
