Is there some kind of press release when ford did so? I searched and couldnt find anything on it.351CJ said:Say what? Ford recently renewed its trademark on the Boss name.
downsouthman1 said:They are content right now & won't release even a Cobra, which will probably be called the Terminator, until 2006.
Do you mean Boss Shinoda, cuz Ford ain't gonna make the Boss?351CJ said:Say what? Ford recently renewed its trademark on the Boss name.
True but it's quite likely that the name Cobra will be given to the new Replica Cobra based off the old Shelby 427 & Terminator will be the new name for what we now know as the Cobra Mustang.ryanrule said:um that was the code name for the 03 cobra setup
I would most certainly tend to agree. It is most def possible that SVT will keep the Cobra name for their top-of-the-line Mustang. But then again you never know.SVTdriver said:Team Shinoda has said many times on this site and others. That they do not own the Boss name. Boss Shinoda yes. Boss no.
You are also assuming they are going to build that new Cobra. Which last I heard was not a definate. And after 10+ years using the Cobra for the SVT Mustang. There would seem to be enough reason to keep it for the SVT line. Of course you also have evidence with the power lease from SVT. Where they state you will have the right to buy an 07 Cobra. Especially when you look at Ford did not name the new GT as the GT-40 for trade name reasons. And the new concept gr-1 has also been associated with Shelby. And yet it is not being called the Cobra Daytona. Basically I would think we should keep from making assumptions about what names aare going to be used.

Oh alright..351CJ said:Ford and other car manufacturers do not announce when they've registered or renewed trademarks. However that information is public record as it is registered with the US Patent office. Someone on themustangsource recently posted the renewal info. that is on the US patent office website.
Ford has not said if or when it may use the "Boss" name agian in North American, but Ford has been using the Boss name for many years in Australia.
You can search either place for the info, sorry but I'm too lazy to do it for you.
Terminator is just the project name of the 03-04 Cobra. Daisy was the project name of the new Shelby Cobra. They are not used for marketing. But I wouldnt be confused if there was a Shelby Cobra, and a SVT Cobra, considering they would be two different cars.SVTdriver said:You are also correct. You never know what will happen. But if you look at name recognition. The SVT mustang has been known as a Cobra for over 10 years now. And while the Shelby Cobra concept may also get the cobra name. I personally don't see a need for SVT to give up the name for the Shelby. No one is going to confuse the 2 cars. Yet renaming the SVT Cobra as the terminator. May end up with coprywrite issues (I thought that was the reason the name was only used for the project and not marketed as such.). And people not very involved in mustangs wondering when the Cobra will show up. Possibly thinking the terminator would be only a special edition.
