The new Meserati Kubang GT Wagon at the Detroit Auto Show

One year after its return to the North American market Maserati has also succeeded in reaffirming its leading role across the Atlantic in the segment reserved for prestige cars with a longstanding tradition. A success confirmed by the almost 900 Spyder and Coupé model units delivered to customers starting April (Spyder) and June (Coupé) 2002. And the Company's dynamism is immediately evident on the stand too: the Kubang concept car, a true GT Wagon in terms of performance and active safety engineering that unquestionably testifies to the Company's vision, even beyond the sports cars it traditionally builds. In fact this concept car combines the traditional sporting structure of Trident-marque cars with superb versatility and an absolutely new interior design. Other firsts at this Show are the 2003 models (already scheduled for delivery in Europe starting this month and in the USA and Canada from next March) with their wealth of technical content. One special feature of the cars is the MSP (Maserati Stability Program) system, whereas today's Spyder has a glass rear window. As already announced, the Maserati range will be rounded out with the presentation of the new four-door model, scheduled for the Frankfurt Motor Show next September.

I think the front end looks a lot like the on coming Mazda RX-8. Hmm.... :odd:
 
I think you're being kind - the whole front shot looks like an RX-8!!

I'm astonished - when I read the title of the thread I thought 'here we go' but that first front-on photo - ay caramba!

Yup....but Mazda had the design first.

MSP? Hmmm...a lot like MazdaSpeed Protege... :)

It's a Mazdarati! :D
 
"Kubang" is right: It looks like Fiat took a large straw to this thing's nose, blew hard, and over-inflated the car. Viola -- RX-8 SUV! Horrid idea. Actually, no worse than the Cayenne. I guess since Fiat is in financial dire straits, they could probably use something like this. Too bad it will rust to death after the first snow's salting. I'm sure the profits will enable them to use better paint next time around....
