Wikipedia definitions don't cut it. And, you forgot to quote the defenses to defamation in Wikipedia.
Do you think Microsoft is suing Apple for all those "I'm Windows" ads?
If Porsche legitimately tested a US Spec car and even if Nissan was there and did the real 7:29 lap, there would be absolutely no case.
A defamation case would get laughed out of court.
No offense dude, but people shouldn't be crying lawsuit or crying out "you lie, I'll sue you". That's why I called you out on it.
Unfair competition however, would be pretty easy if Porsche's claims were indeed true.
