Not only that, but they would have had to make much more significant design changes, while Siemens had a more or less suitable product already in production. That saves a lot of time.
I like Bombardier as much as anyone, but the contract award was made based on good reasons. Via is operating on a tight schedule and can't afford the uncertainty. Looking for bugs in the selection process makes them look like poor losers IMO.
