[quote=Anonymous]I find the discussions about platform sharing, switchgear, parts bin, etc, completely beside the point with regards to Maserati. The chassis is indeed one that was originally developed in conjunction with Mercedes, but does that matter? Does it work well for a car in this price range? Yes it does, then why does it matter if it is shared with a Jeep? Same with the switch gear - any Maserati owner can tell you they would rather have switchgear and electronics that *works* than bespoke switchgear that is temperamental. The key for any of the Maserati vehicles has always been about the combination of styling, interior design, "Italian power", and exclusivity (or lack of popularity if you want to call it that instead).

For me, the Levante drops the ball in the exterior design department. It does not look graceful, athletic, or special. It just looks bland and anonymous. Even though the Ghibli was not a particularly expensive car, it got a lot of attention, especially the first couple of years when it just came out. People would stop and stare at it in parking lots, come talk to me at gas stations, and give me thumbs up in the school kiss-and-ride line. I now drive a MB that is much more expensive than the Ghibli and no one gives it a second look. [/quote]
