Well joking aside, who would want their Ford F-150 pick-up being mistaken for an Ferrari F1 car?? :o :o :o :o :o

That would be a real shocker, which even Clarkson would appreciate.........................!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

I'm sure Ford have infringed on some "names" themselves that they've pinched from the past inventions...

Personally speaking, I don't think people would really care if there was a Ford F150 and a Ferrari F1 F150.  One's a pick up, the other a race car.

And if Ford think that it would detract from their pick up, get a life Ford....

.... sounds to me like Ford Management are having an Automotive bedroom confidence issue.

But as Clarkson once said, all F150 pick up interiors seem to be made by ikea I believe (or was it wheelie bins...).

I dislike pickups and SUVs but I would rather have the Ford than the ferrari any day. nobs drive ferraris, followed one home last night, the idiot was hasseling a learner driver for 3 miles down a country lane. then at a roundabout the idiot completly cuts up the learner driver.

And am I th only person who thinks the exhaust note of ferraris is an awful rattly metallic sound, give me a good V8 rumble exhaust note anytime over that harsh rasp.

"[F150] never has, nor ever will be used as the name of a commercially available product - indeed there will definitely not be a production run of single-seaters." said a Ferrari spokesman, dryly  ;D
