All of the above is base upon my 30+ year old recollection of a "consumer law" class that I took in law school. It is very likely the law has changed or advanced since then or that my recollection is faulty.

That said, if I was advising a company, and they wanted to put "turbo" branding on a car that did not have a turbocharger, I would strongly advise legal research by an expert and perhaps an opinion from the FTC or something.

I get that such advice might be deemed belt and suspenders by some, but better that than to be shown with one's pants down.]]> JM-Stamford,CT Main ForumMon, 09 Sep 2019 11:09:06 -0400 https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,51996,52025#msg-52025 Re: What would be the basis of a legal action?https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,51996,52025#msg-52025 Gary in SoFL Main ForumMon, 09 Sep 2019 10:14:19 -0400 https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,51996,52023#msg-52023 What would be the basis of a legal action?https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,51996,52023#msg-52023 Boxsterra Main ForumMon, 09 Sep 2019 09:33:25 -0400 https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,51996,52012#msg-52012 Re: Make it fasterhttps://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,51996,52012#msg-52012

Then again, this is from a company the parent of which invented the diesel cheating scandal. So this is mild by comparison.

I don't think the parent company invented it.
I think they were the first ones to get caught.
But the regulatory agencies and governments bring it upon themselves, when they mandate changes that are practically impossible due to time/cost limitations.
YMMV.
Happy Porsche'ing,

One could legitimately suggest that a statement that a motor vehicle is a "turbo" or is "turbocharged" requires the vehicle to, in fact, have a turbocharger in it. The failure to have one, could be deemed a misleading statement as a matter of law. Plus, why would a company want the unnecessary confusion? I would actually invite discussion on the topic, because this kind of branding and advertising matters. If they called in "Menlocharged" or a "Faraday Charger" that would be fine because (as far as I know) those have no independent meaning which might be misleading to consumers. Turbo means something other than fast in the auto business.

Maybe they add an artificial turbo whoosh sound feature inside the car! :)

My prediction three years ago. There'd be a BSE. And.... it is going to be an option, just Porsche will call it PSE.
