I don't normally like the look of the MBZ Sprinter, but I saw this one in Venice Saturday and it just looked right:

Very reminiscent of a 1942 design by a guy named Anton Flettner - a single seat, open cockpit model with similar inter-meshing rotor blades.



Cheers

Maserati confirms Levante SUV for 2015, Alfieri for 2016
Maserati confirms Levante SUV for 2015, Alfieri for 2016 - Autoblog



Maserati To Name its First SUV Levante
Maserati To Name its First SUV Levante - KickingTires

Quote:
At the Paris Motor Show today, Maserati confirmed a name for its first SUV: the Levante. Maserati named it after a street in Bologna, Italy, where Automotive News notes the Maserati brothers moved the brand's offices in 1919. The Levante is the production version of Maserati's Kubang SUV concept (above), which we saw at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Maserati has yet to reveal any specifics on the production Levante besides its name, but the automaker promised the Kubang's Jeep Grand Cherokee underpinnings (Fiat controls Maserati and Jeep parent Chrysler) would mean virtually nothing to Maserati's production SUV. The automaker claims it’ll be 100% Maserati and to its credit, the Kubang looks nothing like the Grand Cherokee.

I love the Maserati's (not that I will ever be able to afford one) but good gosh lose the Buick fender portholes!
