Sales of Maserati luxury sports cars rose 11.9% in October over one year ago, with 1,304 units sold in 2016 compared to 1,165 units in 2015. The rise came amid a sluggish US car market that saw a 6% overall decline in October with declines of 40-50% in many of the major luxury car brands.

Tom Shanley, director of Maserati North America, said the increase "reflects the passion and leadership of our dealerships". "The recent arrival of the Levante SUV will further amplify Maserati's position in the luxury market," he said. The Levante SUV, Ghibli, and new Quattroporte are the brand's featured models at the Los Angeles Auto Show, which opened November 18 and runs through November 27.
