Alfa Romeo Kamal SUV Spy Photos

[Giannis]

Employees at Elasis (Pomigliano), one of Fiat's R&D firms, have been a little trigger-happy with their cameras recently. One of their workers leaked out photos of this concept, the Alfa Romeo Kamal (photos included), which we first saw at the Geneva Motor Show of 2003.

These photos, with Elasis headquarters in the background, were taken in September. What is unknown is if this vehicle is a mule being used for testing, or an abandoned Kamal design study just being moved elsewhere. The Alfa Romeo Kamal had been rumored for 2010 production on the Alfa Romeo 159 platform. But those plans changed after the Fiat/Chrysler mashup. Back in June, the speculation was that two SUVs would be built by Jeep, and get the A.R. shield.

However, with Fiat and Chrysler chief Sergio Marchionne preparing to unveil the Fiat Group's short- and mid-term plans later this month, perhaps this SUV could be a sign of things to come. Alfa Romeo has toyed with the idea of releasing a SUV for years, and Chrysler certainly has a number of potential partner vehicles available for re-branding.

I think it's a few years old prototype of the Alfa Kamal. It still has the old Alfa design, not the new one present in e.g. MiTo & Giulietta. So if Alfa Romeo is to make an SUV it will probably look quite different.

If I had authority, I won't let Alfa-Romeo to built anything other than (hot) hatches! Check the Grande-Punto & Gransport essences!

I think you are probably right. After all, it wouldn't make any sence for AR to develop an all new SUV now that Chrysler is here and they can sell anything they want with the AR badge.

Marchionne has already announced that he is gonna sell rebadged as AR, Dodge models in Europe, so nothing's gonna stop him for selling a Chrysler-AR SUV..
