2014 Maserati Kubang

Seth Fletcher

The 2014 Maserai Kubang is the embodiment of all that is weird about the post-crisis auto industry. Maserati's answer to the Porsche Cayenne, this sport SUV will be built in Detroit, by Chrysler, using the the same architecture as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Mercedes M class÷and it'll have a Ferrari-sourced engine.

'sport suv'... a bit redundant, I think.

uhhhh u missed one

Chevrolet Code 130R Concept

"The Chevrolet Code 130R Concept is one we can support: This fun rear wheel drive machine is priced around $20,000. The awkwardly named Code 130R borrows heavily from the BMW 1 Series M stylistically, but would do it at half the price.

Rumors are already swirling that this concept is an early indication of what to expect from the next-generation Camaro, though considering the concept packs a GM's excellent turbocharged 1.4-liter I4, we doubt the new Camaro will be equipped quite like this."

ford fusion! fusion is right first thing I thought of was wow a new Nissan GTR, wait Mustang. Wait Lancer Evo!
nice original design! nope!

Bugster? really? its a porche... wait. well... yeah. its own by porche.. so yeah. its a porche with a different name. lame. ugly as $$$$ too. I hate the beatle just like every other self respecting car lover out there. it need to DIE already.

the new NSX. $$$$ yes! been hearing about this one for a while. glad they finnaly brought all their ideas to table and finnaly made a concept car.

caddalic. needs to die as well. keep the escalade. but thats it. I would never be caught dead in one. but they look nice I guess. this new cadi looks 20 years old already.

lincon is still around..
god. I love america! I do. but I wish american car companies would just go ahead and die. why do people still buy them. out of 100 cars. 3 or 4 are decent looking and have good specs. The ONLY reason I dont really want to see the US auto industry die is becuase of the jobs and income it brings to the USA. but really... there may be a few US cars I would buy now, but I there are 25 jp and eu cars I would rather buy.

Autos suck. The last auto that I found remotely sexy was the original Dodge Viper. My skateboard is all I need.

@boka

do they suck as much as "5 billion" dollar aircraft that are really 200 million?
