Maserati SUV
based on Jeep Grand Cherokee
In short:
The Jeep Grand Cherokee-based SUV will be built at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit and is set to debut in Frankfurt later this year

anyone know what platform the current QP is based on? or does it really have its own platform?
and i guess its about time someone started competing with the Cayenne. i wonder how cheap they'll go though, maybe only compete with the GTS/Turbo cayennes?A successful man is someone who wakes up in the morning, goes to sleep at night, and does whatever makes him happy in between.
Happiness is the only thing worth pursuing.

I wonder if it will get the 392 Hemi or something more "exotic"? I heard (maybe on L4P?) that they cannot use the Ferrari V8's b/c of a lack of low-end torque needed for a hevier vehicle. But I can't imagine that thing being much heavier than a QP, so who knows...

QP has it's own platform.

Even if its an amazing suv, which it probably will be, its always gonna be referred to as just an overpriced jeep with a fancy body kit...

Yes but a Cayenne is an overpriced Touareg with a fancy body kit and people still buy it. Originally Posted by cam777

I hope this is not how it looks... this thing is FUGLY! Talk about destroying the Maserati brand
Maserati SUV with monster HEMI V8
That is actually the "KUBANG" Maserati attempted to come out with years ago. If it looks anything like that, we're in big trouble
