Pininfarina off day?

Pininfarina off day? - 03/11/2020 11:30

Spotted an odd looking creature called a Matic or Matrix in car park, not sure what it was but sort of upright small people carrier thing. Odd window alignment in rear, pretty hideous really.
Strange thing was it had Pininfarina badges on it, presumably nicked, can't believe it was Italian, possibly north Korea !

Could be, fits the Korean assumption, surely it isn't a Pininfarina design? Perhaps they slipped something in their drink whilst visiting North Korea!

The Matrix has been designed by Pinin....
Not a fan of the BMW 7 series design by Bangle either.

OMG! It wasn't just an off day, several it would appear! Looks as if their drawing board was positioned on a fault line.

Hiring Pininfarina just to design a crappy looking car is like hiring Gordon Ramsay just to put a ready meal in the microwave.

That's what might have happened, someone put the design models in the microwave and nobody noticed! Explains the wonky lines.

It’s just marketing and pinin probably needed the money.

Just read some owner's comments on the Matrix, only negative one was the design, nobody mentioned Pininfarina.
