[DeTomaso] Panthera?

The deal with Rossignol to buy the DeTomaso name and logo was finalized on 
15 January. He still says he will have an aluminum-bodied car at the Spring 
2011 Turin Auto Show. Santiago thinks this is utterly impossible given how 
Italian law works. True if you're talking about a real production machine 
from the old Pininfarina factory, but if he has one pounded out on a tree stump 
like the small shops used to do in the last century, there may be a static 
display machine. But likely not that aborted Alfa design from the late '90s 
that was once touted as the "next Pantera". I'd guess the SUV- it would sell 
faster. FWIW- J DeRyke
