Alfa Romeo, after facing legal issues with the naming of its Milano electric SUV in Italy, trolled Ford by suggesting a workaround for naming its Capri electric SUV. By sharing the location of Capri Village in South Africa, Alfa Romeo hinted at Ford’s potential naming strategy to avoid legal troubles in Europe. The Ford Capri, inspired by the Italian island, has a rich history dating back to the 1960s and is now being resurrected as an electric model manufactured in Germany. This cheeky move by Alfa Romeo comes amidst a backdrop of strict Italian laws preventing products from misleading consumers about their origins, with other car companies like Fiat also facing similar challenges. The situation highlights the complexities of navigating international regulations in the automotive industry.
