ive seen fords labeled as holdens.
its probably the copyrighter that is making the mistakes, their job is to input text and at the end of the day, in their boots I would have lost my sanity and written any nonsesicatable txtmojumbo ....

typo, you might notice that an 'A' is right next to the 'Z' on a key board.....while we're on the subject, ive seen a RX7 advertised and a "4 cyl V6 rotary" i kid you not, unless the car had 3 engines, the car yard who listed it must have been drinking

Ive seen Shockwave advertised as "Sapphire Blue" and Blue Pearl as "Midnight Blue" and I once saw Lightening Strike as "Silver Glow".... in dealer ads on Carsales. The names they give some of the colours are hysterical. I emailed one of them and the reply was from a salesman who basically said that the secretery girls just do the ads and they dont know the colours...
Hmmm and their job is to SELL cars? Riiight. Love the Falcon SS...

I saw a Prelude advertised a couple of weeks ago as an R33 Skyline. Even had the big "H" sign and a blacked out bonnet.
