Maserati Kubang Concept
Maserati’s Kubang SUV concept will make its North American debut this January at the 2012 North American International Auto Show. The Kubang was first seen at the Frankfurt auto show held in September. Maserati spokesman Jeffrey Ehoodin wouldn’t confirm if this concept SUV would be the Kubang. He also didn’t give the details of this vehicle’s production plans.
But then, Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne pledged December that it will produce a vehicle similar to it in Detroit. This Maserati’s underbody would be the same as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs produced at Jefferson North. The difference is that it will feature a unique sheet metal as well as a Ferrari engine.
Maserati, a unit of Fiat, has scheduled a press conference to be held in the Fiat-Chrysler stand. About 53.5% of Chrysler is owned by Fiat. The Kubang is one of around 40 new cars and trucks that will be unveiled at the Detroit auto show. There was no space reserved for Saab, which had filed for bankruptcy, at the Cobo Center. Joe Rohatynski, spokesman for the Detroit Auto Show, said that news of Saab’s bankruptcy won’t affect the show. [source: freep]
