Didn’t listen to Jalopnik, no. I don’t have time for that drivel.

But now that you mention it, I will.

Well these sort of news tend to have similar style to change as in kids “whisper to next one” play.

Also everyone can make their own news page, no press education is needed.
Between sites like these there are no protocols.

Understanding uncertain future models requires quite a lot awareness of that area, specialization.

Its very easy to put up a site where yuo just copy paste official news material or stuff from other amateur sites. But its wholly different ball game to do anything else, like analyzing.

Swade you better use “for dummies” format in some Saab news, as dummies read them. This is not ‘from core fanatic to another’ site anymore.

Totally offensive. You’re a gander after all. Fancy pants has been goosed though.

Hey, these guys seem to have gotten it right, with due credit to Trollhattansaab (no link though, but Edmunds didn’t get one either).

I just listened to the precast, and all I heard was a couple of cynical snobs making fun of what they don’t understand. They even ridicule the use of the numbers 3 and 5 (as in 9-3 and 9-5) because BMW apparently owns the numbers. To me, the numbers relate to size, as I think they are meant to. Others, like Mercedes use similar numbering. Totally sickening.
You’re right swade, they’ve just embarassed themselves, but they’ll never figure that out.

Not smug, Eggs. Disappointed and a little pissed off.

Have you listened to the pre-cast on Jalopnik? Farago’s incredibly dismissive of the story (incorrect as it is), this site and the brand in general.

And the kicker is that the whole thing is based on wrong information. I just want a chance to set it straight.

Feeling a little smug, are we?

Seriously: great work! You scooped them all!
