Meeting of Ford cars in Brazil can not use the name "Ford "


Recommended Posts

In 2016, a hundred Fords event in Brazil called  "All Ford Day ", received the legal department of Ford Brazil that ordered the withdrawal of the word  "Ford " of the event and warned that the upcoming events of fan-clubs will not be able to use the name  "Ford ". After the censorship, meetings of Fords in Brazil came to be called  "ForDay ",  "Meeting of F. Family in Brazil ". On the day 05/19/19, 400 Fords met in Interlagos;  Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, Mustang (including Shelby GT500), Focus RS MK2, F-100, Ranger Splash, Maverick, Galaxie and Escort were among the hundreds of Fords at the racetrack. The way Ford Brazil deals with brand fans has aroused the attention of the Brazilian press

Imagine fucking your customers and fans over an event designed to share and show off their love of your products.

Sounds like recent Chevrolet and Cadillac product releases.....

It breaks my heart to say this but you guys in the US just don't know how shit house Ford treats it global Ford fans and to what lengths and prices we have to go to in order to get high end Ford products. Now that the GT Mustang is sold in Australia, Ford blocks the parallel  importation  of any LHD gray imports, even the GT350s, the importation of discounted F150s that might after conversion compete directly with $76K Ranger Raptor.

The school where I work claims that you can't name something "<school> <student organization>", you have to name yourself "<student organization> at <school>" to make it clear that there's no official affiliation between the school and the organization. I imagine it's something like that.

It's all about liability and I'm sure that's the Ford issue as well.   Too many ambulance chasing lawyers and stupid juries.
