2018 Maserati GranTurismo review: Our expert's take

By Brian Normile

Over the past week, our readers have shown impeccable taste when it comes to vehicle styling, bringing the 2018 Lexus LC 500h into second place among our most read car reviews. In fact, more people read the review (many times over) during the last week than the number of LC 500h examples Cars.com reviewer Joe Bruzek found for sale on our site; he was only able to track down nine listed across the country when writing his review.

Bruzek has high praise for the LC 500h’s looks, but the powertrain and driving experience are more of a mixed bag:

“The LC is an amazing-looking car that drives amazingly with the V-8, but it loses a lot of its soul not having the responsive, cackling gas engine,” he notes.

Bruzek also expressed disappointment about the use of hybrid technology solely for fuel efficiency while some competitors’ electrified models get an electrifying performance boost. Check out his review to see if the fuel economy advantage makes the LC 500h worth it to you.

Video watchers last week focused on two redesigned cars, 2019 versions of the Nissan Altima and BMW X5. Our First Drive video for the X5 occupies the top spot, with the Altima’s First Drive close behind. Rounding out the top five are Cars.com reviewer Mike Hanley’s take on why the 2018 Audi A4 is a winner, useful car hacks and our review of the 2019 Jeep Cherokee.

I absolutely love the GTS.

I absolutely love the GTS. Such bang for the buck and so much fun to drive. This car flat out turns heads. It really feels amazing to drive and the lines of the body are sexy. Would definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for all the boxes to be checked.

Amazing Car for the Money!! Maserati GT!!

I have a 2014 Maserati GT MC Coupe. It is the best value for an exotic period. I drive mine almost daily. Never have had any mechanical issues, incredible Italian styling, Ferrari built V8 4.7L, 454hp and it sounds Nasty. I have been in an exotic sales for 25 years and have run brands like Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini etc. So I've been around exotics for a long time. Yes, get one if you have the opportunity. I also think over time these will appreciate.
