Automotive News Europe this week released a booklet about the vehicles making the their world premier at the Frankfurt Auto Show next week. One of those vehicles in the booklet was an image of the new Maserati SUV. The image shows an X6 like vehicle riding on 20+ inch wheels.

But upon further inspection of the picture, we're not sure if this real. The picture looks like to be an artist rendering with too many cues taken from the X6 and has the signature of the artist. Also, CarScoop believes this rendering was in the August issue of Italian car magazine, Quattroruote.

Nevertheless, we'll find out if this Maserati X6 thing is the real deal or complete bunk next week.

That is a nice photochop if a Quattroporte onto an X6 body. I highly doubt Maserati would need to do this, much less actually sell it.

The question should be: "are you a very ugly photoshop job?"

It will be interesting to see what the real thing looks like. I think it's supposed to be based on the Grand Cherokee platform, as the Alfa SUV will be also..

Yes and Yes

I think the Maserati SUV is a great idea.

Sincerely,

Your best post ever, SMK!

Bravo!

That chop is hideous.

Awful.

This looks shopped.

I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

Based on how cheap the Mopar/Fiat/Lancia rebadges have been so far, I wouldn't be surprised to see the trident pasted on to the center of an otherwise stock 7-slot grille.
