Maserati's first SUV will be called the Levante and its planned mid-sized sedan will be named the Ghibli.

The Fiat subsidiary, which announced the names today at the auto show here, is counting on the two new models to help boost the company's global sales to 50,000 units by 2015 from 6,150 last year.

The Levante is set to debut in 2014. The SUV, which was previewed at the 2011 Frankfurt auto show as the Kubang concept, will be produced in the United States by the Fiat-controlled Chrysler Group, sharing a production line and underpinnings with the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Looks good, but a Maserati built in Detroit will be a big hurdle for car guys, but soccer moms won't care.

Don't think many people will care as long as it performs as a Maserati ought to perform. Thousands of BMWs have been assembled in North Carolina, that has barely registered a complaint as far as their sales are concerned.

Ghibli, that's a joke right? Sounds like giblets, lol... The Levante rendering looks nice though and name is a lot better than Ghibli
