Ford vs. Ferrari v.2


I was kind of joking a few weeks ago when I posted my comparisons between the F150 and the F150 . So it took me by surprise to see this blog posting on the cnn.com money page...

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Ford made it very clear to Italian sports car maker Ferrari, that the name "F150" means a truck -- not a racecar. Faced with a lawsuit over the matter, Ferrari backed down.

Ferrari had named its new Formula 1 racecar the F150, in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Italy's unification. But the name tag already has a strong following on one of the best-selling vehicles in America -- the Ford F-150 pickup truck.
