Re: VW LICENSING PROGRAM (loooong(er))
<x-flowed>>i doubt that, too. you cannot just go and trademark numbers as far as i know.
Haha, guess again...
''Okay, in 1963 Porsche announced the 901, a car based on the
venerable 356 model. The car was renamed 911 because Peugeot had a
copyright on all 3-digit car model numbers with a zero in the middle.
The 911 has gone on to become, arguably, the most popular car ever
produced by Porsche.''
