Attention to detail in the quality press

In the Independent yesterday and on-line, in a news piece re bankers bonuses and spend at London boat show and in Canary Wharf Porsche dealership -

"The affluent customers could also admire a Lamborghini"

Spot the Enzo!

The prancing bull must have been a big give away.

Unless it was not the writers fault and someone else swapped the picture but kept his text.

[Gizmo!]

Funnily enough I was reading this earlier: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12147304

"...driving down Emigration Canyon into the city in a half-tonne Chevrolet Suburban sports utility vehicle..."

Sorry, what? SUVs are lighter than I thought! Oh.

Perhaps the copy was cut and the full version reads "The affluent customers could also admire a Lamborghini as well as this Ferrari and other exotica." Or maybe I'm just trying to find excuses (although it is not unknown for copy to get cut short for publication)

Caterham and Ariel could learn a thing or two from those yanks you know. Hope 300bhp/ton doesn't see this, he'll be quoting that article in every 'what 4x4 thread' for years to come.

Quite right. Who could possibly admire something as shockingly ugly as the car in that picture.

Journo in "not paying attention / checking things" shocker...

Just had a thought- they may have been referring to the payload of the truck. Not sure about USA but in Australia they refer to some utes by the capacity e.g Holden 1 tonners.

Was about to say this But I'm pretty sure this would be the case.

Either way, it's almost certain they didn't what they where talking about
