Journos make mistakes all the time. I have seen a road test saying that the 118TSI Passat (or maybe the Golf sedan thingy whatever that's called) has the 1.8L Audi/Skoda engine in it when it's actually the 1.4TSI.
The WHEELS tuner car shootout last year had heaps of mistakes because the journos didn't have a sales brochure or press release to refer to. I think the most blatant was saying one of the cars was twin turbo when it was actually a single (or vice versa).
As a Skoda Octavia owner, i can assure you that most Octavia reviews/road tests contain many examples of incorrect facts because the journos can't be bothered checking their info or the marketing department they are dealing with doesn't know either.
