Fiat's Maserati brand unveiled its Kubang SUV today in Frankfurt -- the SUV that Chrylser-owner Fiat plans to "import from Detroit."

The Porsche-Cayenne fighter is to be built alongside Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durangos at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit.

Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne said last December that a Maserati SUV based on the same platform, but with a "fundamentally Ferrari-based" powertrain, will be made in Detroit in 2012. Marchionne wants to expand Fiat's Maserati and Alfa Romeo brands by drawing on Fiat and Chrysler's combined size to boost profit.

The platform on which the Grand Cherokee and Durango SUV are built has some links to the new Mercedes-Benz M-Class, which was started as a joint program during the DaimlerChrysler era.

No...they will sell quite a few of these ugly versions of the Grand Cherokee with the Italian engine.

They could have dispensed with the first 2 minutes.
