Pininfarina makes Coca-Cola machines now?

[Jbird]

I was at my local Qdoba getting lunch today, and noticed that the Coca-Cola dispenser machine, the one where you can add all kinds of fruit flavors to your Coke, Sprite, Mellow Yellow, is made by Pininfarina.

Didn't they used to design Ferrari's, back in the day? Or do they still design Ferrari's?

some of the most gorgeous car bodies were designed by Pininfarina.

one of my favorites was the 365 GTB and GTS.

Fun fact: After a gazillion-year partnership Ferrari no longer offers an automobile designed by Pininfarina. It's all in-house these days.

In fairness I think every manufacturer is designing with one arm tied behind its back these days. It's hardly like there's a dearth of creative folks in the industry, and certainly not at Ferrari. But safety requirements like bumper height, window height, structural regs, etc. all ensure a certain level of conformity, and it effectively smothers some of the more interesting ideas designers would probably like to use.

Sounds like they could design a cool guitar, no?
