New Stralis in naming bother

If you read the first reports of Iveco's new range-topping Stralis earlier in the week, you will have seen that it was named Cube. However, by mid-week this had come to the attention of Nissan, which has grown rather attached to the name as used on its small family car. By the time I arrived in Rome for a more in-depth look at the new model, the offending badge had been removed, leaving just a couple of holes on the grille. Stand by for a new name and some hastily reprinted brochures!
