Ford suing Ferrari over use of F150 name
- Thread starter Brogan
- Start date
Thats a shame, would have loved to see Ford and Fezza at each others throats. Remember in the 60s when Ferrari refused to let Henry Ford buy them, and he was furious. Tried to beat them in every motorsport that they were in.
That is a stunningly half-arsed change of name. How about calling it the SF150 if they really have a problem.
OFF TOPIC - Don't know the code for the smiley.

I have already shared my opinion on the Clip the Apex Clan in Batracer with Brogan. Suffice to say that there is always an invitation for a battle with Welsh Dragons should you ever be brave enough..........................
And I'm always happy to team up with fellow nutters, I'm easy to track down in Batracer.

I agree with the "what goes around comes around" aspect of this. Very chucklesome.
I really wonder what Ferrari are up to - although you feel Ford are just making a point because of their history, and Ferrari's attitude to others (seriously, how many people looking to buy an F150 are (a) first time buyers, or (b) able to use the internet and think - nope, can't get me tools in the back of that!).
How many people are out there who didn't make the link? Yet Ferrari have teams of marketing personnel who's job is to maximise consumer benefit from their image. Did Ferrari really think it was OK to copy the name of the most widely sold car over the last few decades? Maybe they should have gone for the Canyonerro
When you look at the completely inappropriate press releases Ferrari made during last season you have to wonder if they've go an internal competition of: See who can get us closest to court without actually setting foot inside - first prize, a night out with Berlesconi.

Since I have always considered the Ferrari name for the current F1 car to be an attempt to further the political aspirations of DiMontezemalo, I think they should rename it the "vote for Luca Mark 1"
Or "VotaLuca Marchio Uno"
Can't say I'm surprised with this - Ford haven't exactly come out of the recession unscathed so need both the publicity and the money.
Plus, it's good to see Ferrari get a taste of their own 'medicina'.

And, they did not take one penny of the government bailout money, the only US manufacturer not to do so.
Ferrari did $2.4 billion in total sales for $334 million in profit in 2009. Does anybody have the 2010 figures?
