Wow! If the term "Porsche replica" or similar language clearly stating that the car is not an authentic Porsche is used to identify the vehicles appearance it seems nuts that they could pull an advertisement.
The seller using that language would be telling the truth. There is a penalty for honesty?
Let's see if the ad is left alone or not over the next few days.
I'm sure not a Lawyer, but I'm guessing that Porsche for real understands as you may not or not then agree with anyway, that anything with the word Porsche adds some value to any ad. If the ad for a replica speedster even said " not a Porsche " which would be completely true, just the inflected use of the word Porsche would perhaps somehow be construed to be used as some benefit to any seller and therefore as abuse in the eyes of PORSCHE themselves and they would be offended ( harmed in the eyes of the law ).
I could be completely out to lunch on this but I'd bet that Jim Kelly would likely be able to clarify this.
