Honda has no reputation to the elite, its an economy car. Ferrari has spent its entire life as a company designing and building cars that are an exotic art form. Honda makes things that carry kids to soccer practice, entry level semi-sports cars, and kick ass lawnmowers. Ferrari makes, purpose built street cars, with bloodlines directly from their F1. Honda rents out a couple IRL and Kart engines through out the year, thats about it. Point is, as nice as honda's are, they have no ground to sue ricers, as to some degree they market to that crowd (it makes them money). Not to mention the pure mathematical part, you cant sue all the ricers or even enough of them to make a point; there is just too many of them. When Ferrari found out someone made a limo that was making 'headlines' (if u will), ruining everything Ferrari has stood for over the decades, that gives them grounds to sue.
For example, if Picasso sold an original to Bobby, and bobby came home and painted in some extra things onto the canvas, but left Picasso's signature. Is it a true Picasso, of course not, its garbage (although it still has appeal and value to certain individuals).
Just my 2 cents.
