No one would get the two confused and Ferrari using the F150 name doesn't harm Ford nor bring any extra attention to Ferrari. Ford just wants some cash.

For the life of me, I can't find the necessary accessories a Ferrari F150..........you know, a gun rack and a trailer hitch to hang a rubber nutsack from.

Then Ferrari pissed them off and the GT40 was born and won Le Mans 4 years in a row after a 6 year Ferrari dominance.
So im betting on history repeating itself. Ford becomes a Formula 1 contender next season ![]() |

Ford is absolutely right. When you google "F-150" or "F150" Ford wants only their trunks to show. Now you google F-150 or F150 and you are starting to see the Ferrari F150th Italia.

I remember when intel tried this with '386' and 'i386', it didn't work out so well for them. That's the whole reason the name "Pentium" was invented, because Intel lost their court cases regarding trying to trademark random numbers.
