They couldn't come up with a better name than just adding th to the end? Doesn't sound like a cars name anymore.

^ Plus, it still incorporates the disputed "F-150" and could still be considered substantially similar.

Not sure this is going to get the job done.

Being a Ford owner.

They should let this go. This can only work in Ford's better standing. Especially if they google F150, and it terms up a response for the truck. It will be in even better standing if the person buys one.

Why not just follow in last year's F10 footsteps and call it the F11?

Ford wouldn't let this go for big bucks. Ford has been pissed off at Ferrari for 50 years. Hell in the 60's they spent 10's of millions of Mustang profits just to beat Ferrari at Lemans. Ford also has more money. I am never a fan of Fords but I hope they win big and it costs Ferrari millions in legal fees.

Did not think about this, great point. Really shows that Ferrari probably knew what they were doing when they named it F150. I mean they can't be THAT daft?

Definitely did it on purpose in my book. As much as I love my Ferrari's I think as a whole they are a large chunk of arrogance and think they can just about get away with everything.

If Ford wins the dispute though Ferrari will just make up for the loss by charging clients more, instead of 8k for stripes it will be 10k.
