That's a pretty big assumption. Why would Ford risk the possibility of losing when they have the marketing advantage by the numbers? Chevy has a lot more to gain by that challenge. If Chevy loses, the average consumer's assumption would just be confirmed. If Ford loses, they have an advertising crisis on their hand. Whether Ford would expect to win or lose, it's close enough numbers wise that it would be a very stupid move to accept unless Ford knew they had the victory in the bag.
