  1. Beautiful for an SUV, ugly for a MaseratI: the Levante is to Maserati what merchandise is to Ferrari. Purists call it blasphemy, and it is stretching the heritage, but it will ultimately bring in revenue and customers to fund the development of 'proper' cars. One might call this the 'Cayenne effect', after the car that Porsche quite possibly owes its current healthy state to. For that, I approve of the Levante, as much as I dislike the car itself.

  2. Not in the same price or size class, you can't really compare the two.

  3. Fabian Espinoza The F-Pace is in the same class, though it's slightly cheaper and perhaps not as mesmerizingly perfect as the Macan, but it's a whole lot more appealing and charming. It stands a chance, I think. The Levante was made to compete with the Cayenne, and it holds up surprisingly well in the areas where the crushing, German perfection of the Cayenne runs rampant, without losing the Italian charm. It won't outsell the Cayenne, but will nonetheless do well in this expanding market.

  4. Adam Pamungkas Again: good car, looks great for an SUV, but it's far from the prettiest Jag. Personally, I'd always prefer the XF, but it'll help bring Jaguar revenue, which they can use to develop 'proper' Jags. I would never buy one, but I don't mind its existence.
