Maserati GranTurismo S Special Edition

We love to us some matte finish at Autoblog, but we must admit the usual smattering of matte black vinyl systems leave us a little at nighttime. This is exactly why our eyes pop somewhat wider whenever we visit a vehicle that cuts the glare but keeps the palette. That’s also why the storied brands from the Fiat group are becoming top marks within our books nowadays.

In the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, the group’s top brand Ferrari displayed an idea 599 with restorative healing stopping along with a scrumptious matte eco-friendly finish. The year after in the same venue, Alfa Romeo lifted the veil around the tempting 4C Concept inside a beautiful shade of matte red-colored. And also at the Bologna Motor Show earlier this year, their sister brand Maserati displayed this special GranTurismo in matte blue.

Nissan Displays Its Pathfinder Concept at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show

Nissan has recently displayed one of its latest vehicle models and this is what the company is referring to as the "Pathfinder concept" at the 2012 Detroit auto show. Although Nissan is considering this vehicle as the concept of their next-generation Pathfinder SUV, a lot of car experts are arguing that what was actually seen on the auto show was the same exact vehicle that would be carrying the 2013 model year and will probably hit the market this fall. The arguments provided by the various car experts who were able to take a closer look at the Pathfinder that was displayed on the auto show were based mainly on the series of spy photos of the vehicle that were released last month.

Although Nissan refused to reveal some of the basic information about the upcoming 2013 Nissan Pathfinder, a lot of rumours and speculations regarding the features of the SUV have been spreading and many automotive experts are confident that most of these are true. In fact, a number of the vehicle's characteristics that were previously mentioned on these rumours were actually seen on the Pathfinder that was placed on display at the auto show.
