WTF Moment or Breaking News?
I'm thinking the former.

Hello, do fact check and research?

Convertibles tend to draw the most attention, from men as well as women, product specialists said. Models on display at this year's show include the convertible Dodge Challenger and Toyota Camaro.

Having worked in newspapers for 32 years, trust me when I tell you that on Saturdays, seldom are any of the A team reporters working. Usually, just a couple inexperienced general assignment and police reporters are on duty. That's why you'll see more stuff like that in Sunday and Monday newspapers than any other day of the week.

I couldn't tell if the Dodge Product Specialist was referring to the "convertible" Challenger or just the Challenger in general? I'm leaning towards the latter though.

Looks like they need a new editor. They must have hired the guy that worked for Motor Trend back in the late 90s. That guy had tons of mistakes all over the place. Even some sentences back-to-back that contradict each other. I know there were concerns about Toyota buying Chrysler which could cause some confusion, but this is just an illogical mistake to make.

If I was a reporter and wrote like that, I would have to quite for being incompetent. But you have to smart enough
to know how dumb you write and those 2 traits are mutually exclusive. LOL!

Justinec101: your on to them. Before you know it, their name will be found before the Mustang name plate, then Honda will have the Camaro, then Nissan will have the Challenger.
