Pininfariana, design company for many Ferrari cars, got bought 75% by Mahindra for approx 185M ==> http://www.autoblog.com/2015/12/14/...l&utm_source=linkedin.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Bertone has gone bankrupt last year

Guigiaro belongs to VW group

All very sad to see, especially as a child of the 70ies, many dream cars of my childhood had been designed by these companies.
