Pininfarina Spends more than a decade with economic difficulties. The sector of the automobile has changed of important form in the last years and the manufacturers every time opt more for designing and build his own cars.  This has spent to a critical situation no only to Pininfarina, but to other key marks of the Italian car industry like Giugiaro (absorbed by Volkswagen) or Bertone.

The byline Pininfarina has said that Mahindra & Mahindra is interested in the purchase of the company and that it could formalise an agreement in the weeks to come. It is not the first time that Mahindra shows interest by Pininfarina, already did it in March of this same year. It expects that, if finally Mahindra remains with the company, can revive it or reenfocar his activity as it already did after the acquisition of SsangYong.

The interests of Mahindra & Mahindra by Pininfarina are clear. The Indians want to take advantage of the experienced studio of design of the mark so that his vehicles and the ones of SsangYong have designs more modern and innovative with which can obtain better results in markets like the European. It is evident that models like the Mahindra XUV 500 (image of cabecera) have a design in which they remain by pulir quite a lot of elements.
