    Nearly made enough money for a new Pantera, but sadly not quite

    Writings been on the wall for ages. Supercar maker produces horrid cross-over, how thick were they?

    Another company completely ruined by poor management.

    Exactly. Porsche Panamera and BMW X6 sell in huge numbers.

    Yea but they do have some kind of experience in the field as well as other models already in production to cross over with.

    DeTomaso hadn't done anything other than sports cars since the 80's and they thought they could do the same job.
