The 2012 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport--or GranCabrio, as it's known elsewhere--isn't the fastest convertible around. It's not the most expensive. It's not even the most exclusive. But it is beautiful, and sounds just as good, and this video expresses those traits wonderfully. Settle in...

As the subject of literally years of speculation and rumors, Jaguar's XE sports car is one of the most hotly anticipated arrivals of the next few years.
