    Looks too much like an Infiniti QX70...

    If people keep buying these things it just encourages them.

    Meh...

    (I'm all for it if it keeps Maserati in business and in the black, as long as it enables them to build amazing automobiles a little bit closer to their roots - like the Alfieri. But I won't be buying a SUV!)

    Not sure what the SUV and the plan for 75k unit sales does to the brand and to the value of classic maseratis. On the one hand it increases awareness but on the other the thought of 5 yr old ghiblis and levantes being sold for peanuts can't be helpful.

    Well just look at Porsche for your answer concerning values of its classic models. Even mediocre 911T's from the 70's sell for huge money now

    Anyone who says they can make any sense out of the vintage car market is full of it. They're all playing this one day at a time. Way too much that is just old is suddenly worth a lot.

    But for how long?

    Like the new Ghibli, the Levante may look better in the metal than in pictures. I expect it will have a moment in the limelight until the Bentley and Lamborghini SUVs are introduced.

    Well, I guess I would compare it to a Maserati (I mean Chrysler) TC, Looks like a jeep,



    Shame really, I guess every soccer will be running around in one.

    I like it, bravo Maserati!

    The Levante fits very well into the current Maserati design.
