We Don't Have a Pink Bathroom...

...so we don't buy the Financial Times.

I also don't subscribe to it online.

But fortunately for those if us with a thirst for news, Car+Driver are reporting the FT story about Ferrari suing a charity over the use of a name that they decided to use despite the charity having it first.

It sounds a bit like when Posh Spice tried to stop Peterborough United from trademarking the nickname "Posh".

She lost.

The name Ferrari is fighting for is Purosangue which translates as "Pure Blood".  This should be popular with racists.

Every man and his dog is speculating what the Ferrari SUV will look like, just type "Ferrari SUV" into Google Images:

Here's my guess:

It comes from this story which points out that they all look much of a muchness.

Still, I guess that ALL car companies have to have an SUV in their line-ups nowadays.

Good job Reliant aren't still around:

Turkish Delight

I take no delight in another new SUV:

which, let's be honest looks like all of the others out there: 

 

And that's only a selection.

 

Yuk.

 

This one though is an EV and it has an interesting interior:

The other thing interesting about it is that it is Turkish.  Car+Driver have the story here.  They say that this car is from the first ever Turkish car company.  Although Wikipedia tends to differ with that statement and given that they provide photos of various old Turkish cars, I'll go with Wiki on this one.

 

This new brand is TOGG - which Car+Driver helpfully tell us stands for "Türkiye’nin Otomobili Girişim Grubu" which it doesn't helpfully tell us translates as "Turkey's Automobile Enterprise Group" - Google did that.

 

As opposed to FIAT which stands for "Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino" meaning "Italian automobile factory of Turin”

 

Or SEAT which stands for "Sociedad Española de Automóviles de Turismo" with the altogether cooler translation of "Spanish Society of Touring Cars"

 

Turkey has been advertising a lot on telly lately as a holiday destination but given their current president (in this story getting involved with TOGG) and what he has done to the Kurds, I think I'll give it all a miss.

 

Here's the only Turk I find delightful: 

and he's Northern Irish.
