In the case of the Dino, they're not necessarily far off.

The "Dino" brand was created to market a lower priced, "affordable" sports car. Enzo Ferrari did not want to diminish the Ferrari brand with a cheaper, smaller engined car, and so "Dino" was created specifically to separate the brands. It had no Prancing Horse or Scuderia badging.

Nobody would say that? Well, Ferrari actually did!

In the first brochure for the 206GT they described the Dino as "almost a Ferrari". Can you believe that?

Hi, The Boxster is not a Porsche, it is the car that saved Porscha's @ss from being bought by the Chinese and then exporting cars to America named Cherry 911 Rice Turbo.

IMO Porsche should have been renamed BOXSTER
