Maserati would like you to know that it's serious about its Kubang SUV by putting up a video of it in action.

The Italian carmaker is seemingly intent on drilling into our heads that the Kubang is a Maserati through and through because for nearly two minutes of the three-minute video, we see nothing but Maserati cars; from its pre-World War II race cars to the MC Stradale sports car to the Ferrari Enzo-based MC12 GT1 race cars.

While that's all well and good, it's the obviously computer-generated image of the Kubang that's slightly off-putting. At least Maserati is honest enough to admit that the Kubang wasn't designed for the rough stuff as the carmaker says it's "ideal for urban and open-road driving, both alone and in company."

Has this CGI-generated SUV  changed your thoughts on the Kubang or would you rather see it for yourself before you pass judgment? You know what to do with the comment box below.
