A Maserati SUV? Why? Considering Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW already have theirs, perhaps the better question is, why not? That's the way Sergio Marchionne looks at the matter, at any rate, according to an interview with the Wall Street Journal. Calling the Jeep Grand Cherokee "a great architecture," Marchionne asks rhetorically, "Why wouldn't I put a Maserati on it?" Why not, indeed. The vehicle will be built at the same plant that builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee, indicating it will likely share the same powertrain options as the Jeep as well, though overseas models may get engine...

Did you ever play the game "Kidnapped" in elementary school? It wasn't really a "thing", per se. In fact, we might've been the only ones playing it, and it might've been just in our heads. Which would be par for the course. Anyway, in the game, we pretended that we'd awoken in a strange bed in a strange house and didn't remember how we'd gotten there.
