Jim Weaver — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 19:43:20 +0000

Maserati’s very first SUV was unveiled today at the Paris Auto Show. To me an SUV should say Dodge, Ford or Chevy on it somewhere, but let’s take a first look. The soon to be titled Levante is certainly sexy for a supposed off-road capable vehicle. Sort of looks like a sleek and sporty Maserati, only taller. [...]
