Them Italians are sensitive about this stuff. Beretta once sued USA automaker Chevrolet because they were building a sedan they deigned to call "Beretta." And I'd reckon a Chevrolet automobile is far less likely to be confused for a pistol than a truck is for an F1 car.

They settled out of court for, IIRC, a $500,000 dollar donation from Chevrolet to cancer research in the name of Beretta.
