Uhm... I don't know what to believe.
Is this thing for sure? someone gotta be kiddig with me?

And I thought Audi were late with its Q7, but this is really late :D

looks horrible...

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

davide 03-26-2006 06:04 PM

[q]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.[/q]

Alfa already got it's own crossover...

god damn that is ugly

Sir_GT 03-26-2006 07:48 PM

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

Mattk 03-26-2006 08:07 PM

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

You would get proper answer from a Cayenne owner :lol:

Garretts_turbo 03-26-2006 08:57 PM

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...

Everlasting 03-26-2006 09:29 PM

i like it

RC45 03-26-2006 09:51 PM

What's with the Texas license plate?

DO they think it's going to be a hot seller down here?

Z3uS 03-26-2006 10:07 PM

I kinda liked the front, but the hear is just... :puke:

DeMoN 03-27-2006 02:14 AM

well better that than a ferrari suv...

LotusGT1 03-27-2006 03:32 AM

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

r2r 03-27-2006 04:05 AM

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

:puke:

LotusGT1 03-27-2006 05:11 AM

As said Einstein, this car wasn't desinged by Maserati in the first place... :roll:

bmwmpower 03-27-2006 06:49 AM

Bernardo 03-27-2006 05:43 PM

Cearabc 03-27-2006 06:30 PM

noliebro 03-27-2006 11:12 PM

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.

Mattk 03-28-2006 12:42 AM

A pretty silly name too: Kubang. What were they thinking?

Erez 03-28-2006 01:23 AM

:? where is this money hungry world coming to.. :?

LotusGT1 03-28-2006 01:57 AM

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....

sads 03-28-2006 04:14 AM

That thing is hedious looks stupid :roll:

Fleischmann 03-28-2006 04:19 AM

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.

martin100 03-28-2006 04:31 PM

OMG its so ugly :x

Mattk 03-31-2006 10:53 AM

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