Coming soon: trademark suit from Alfa Romeo, whose parent company Stellantis also owns the trademark to the Lancia Beta name. The carmaker (and likely the courts) won't care about whether DeLorean would argue such tech terms as alpha and beta are fair use. What the heck were DeLorean (not) thinking?

EDIT: replaced FIAT with Stellantis.

This reminds me of when a nascent car company in the U.S. that wanted to build specialist police cars thought it was a great idea to have a big gold diamond as their logo and grille badge. Renault called, and the U.S. company had to ditch it all. No sign of that failed entity, probably for a variety of reasons.
