Though Maserati's been throwing the Kubang name around since the first concept debuted at the 2003 Detroit Auto Show, the production version will use a different moniker when it goes on sale for the 2014 model year, according to Fiat boss, Sergio Marchionne. Another version of the concept SUV resurfaced at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.

Wow.. this thing has great styling! Very fresh and innovative!

Looks like all it needs is real head and tail lamps and it will be complete. But first.....how much?

That girl on the right may be pretty, but her dress is hideous!

The name is hideous too. Why not something in conjunction with the Quattroporte (meaning 4 doors) and call it like the Cinqueporte because it's a 5 door. Just sayin....

How about reintroducing the LM-moniker: LM-X ?

My bad: that was a Lamborghini...

Lets see how much they can stretch a Jeep with a Ferrari engine price.
