You can look at it like this - BMW bought Land Rover. Land Rover is enough of an iconic name that it isn't subsumed into the BMW brand, and Land Rover forums and fan groups still exist, and do not feel they have to start talking about BMW 1 Series or whatever.
Very good point.

I do think some people are being a bit dim.
PRICL is the name of a company, like Unilever.
Pentax is a brand, like Persil (which is owned by Unilever).
If Unilever sell Persil to Procter & Gamble, the latter are not going to give it a new name (Progsil, anyone?) and throw away the value of the brand.
Ricoh are not crazy. If they were, they would not have included the Pentax brand name as the first word in their new company name.
And nor did Hoya change the brand name, remember.
