So Volvo's lawsuit against Sauber is pending over the rights to C30?

1) F150 vs. F-150 and similarity of typeface, etc.
2) Good available for purchase vs. one that isn't
3) Prominence of F150 logo on the car
4) Ford's product line in markets where there are F1 races, and the name of the truck in those markets, if offered in them
5) Broadcast and their respective markets
