Re: Pininfarina's CEO dead

Share price of Pininfarina Spa shot up and the shares have not been suspended from trading.

I guess the market thinks they'll now be taken over.

I'm very proud of the Pininfarina badge on my GTV, which I think is the best looking coupe of its type.

Re: Pininfarina's CEO dead

What was he doing riding a Vespa? Gotta be more safe modes of transport than that in Italy?
