Of the two cars, the Maserati was intended to be the more polite, family-oriented vehicle -- but its gearbox is woefully less smooth than the Ferrari's. While shifting the gears manually in either car is a delight, the automatic mode of the 612 Scaglietti is seamless, whereas the feature in the Maserati is incredibly clunky. The Maserati's gearbox has a power lag between shifts in automatic mode, which causes the vehicle's weight to lurch forward.

If you think these models can’t tell one Ferrari from another, you'd be surprised. They’re expected to know the history and background of the automotive company they are working for, and they must ... know about its vehicles and corresponding vital statistics. Both men and women are employed in the field and they typically spend three to five days in training, sometimes driving the cars they represent and a competitor’s vehicle too so they can discuss the differences with a potential customer at an auto show, said Krevsky.
