How hard is it to error check an article written about cars?? All you have to do is go to the manufacturer's site and confirm specs, right??
Two examples in this article (there may be more but I gave up):
"It (the BMW M3) now comes in three compact body styles - coupe, sedan and convertible - all driven by a powerful in-line 6-cylinder engine" - SEDAN??? I thought they dropped that one? A quick check to bmwusa.com confirmed my knowledge...
"Audi's engineers managed to stuff an exceptionally compact 4.2-liter V-8 into an engine bay that ordinarily holds either a 2-liter turbo 4 or a 3.2-liter V-6"
2-liter!!!!! I could understand if the 1.8T was a run of the mill engine but that is their bread & butter, not to mention a Ward's top 10 numerous times.
Probably a case of a journalist filling in for some one.. pathetic.
