Maserati SUV to be made in Detroit
Fiat's Maserati is betting that Italian luxury can also be a made-in-Detroit SUV. The elite car brand, based in Italy, plans to build its first SUV at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant, says a person familiar with the matter. A concept version of the model, which will be based on the Jeep Grand Cherokee, is due to be unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show next month. Sergio Marchionne, who runs Fiat and Chrysler, aims to expand Maserati and sister Alfa Romeo by drawing on Fiat and Chrysler's combined size.
