all besides the breach of contract one thing that P-O's me about Navistar;s suit is their claim that "LION" is their diesel - IT IS NOT!!

They might have had some project called lion, but the LION diesel Ford is planning for the F150 (4.4l V8) and its big brother for the Super Duty (6.7l called Scorpion) are somehow related t oNavistar technology, engines, patents or work.

The whole base for that enigine is based in EUROPE where Ford partnered wit the French automake PAS (Peugeot Citroen) and developed a slew of new small, medium, and large diesels all under the code name of LION. These range from tiny I4's to V8's
And these engines have NOTHING to do with navistar.

Navi has all the right in the world to sue for breach of contract (as Ford has the right to sue back for breach of contract), but to pull in the EU built LION engine is ridiculous.
