Actually.. Ferrari said that mazer would make an suv crossover last year sometime. It isn't a suprise, the pictures are just interesting.

i was told that Alfa and Maserati are gonna be working on this TOGETHER...and that Alfa Romeo will also have their own version of an SUV on a similiar platform.

Alfa already got it's own crossover...

They need to change the look of it now... the concept's design won't suit today's market anymroe.

It doesn't look to great. I fail to understand why Maserati buyers would go for that.

to be fair it looks like a stylish wagon much more than an SUV..although not attractive.....
i'm sure it will move pretty well given those power figures...
but yeah, my my, shes not a looker...

This is a 2003 prototype designed by Italdesign / Giugiaro. What's the fuss all about now?

I hate all the new maserati's, and this concept just shows that they can't design anything.

I dont know what the date on the article is, but this is a pretty old concept, probably not going to be made like this if it is ever made.

LOL@Erez. What do you think, the automotive industry excists only because it has commercial value. Not because they like to built cars so much.

BTW, I still don't get the fuss over a 2003 prototype....

The Kubang concept is pretty old, so if they haven't decided to produce it it since it's premiere, I doubt it will ever go into production. And good. As for the looks, I just can't imagine Maserati styling cues working well on an SUV.

Later, we were told by an industry analyst that the Kubang is in fact a Giugiaro design discarded by Daewoo.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Giugiaro?? Not one of his better efforts in my opinion. Shite is the word that comes to mind!! :D

Let's just cheer ourselves up by saying that it will never be built.
