heck..
if they're gonna get the sport car brand completely wrong why didn't
they call it a Jaguar XKE ? !
Hell..why not call it a 300SL Gullwing then !

I love that Peter Garrilson ( last name spelling ? )    of Flying
magazine wrote this ...

"There is no law against technical descriptions or words that are
imprecise -- unfortunately."

No kidding.
I SWEAR ....it was never like this before everyone had a computer.
Back then  people thought when they wrote, though I tend to idealize
things I appreciate deeply  - like thoughtful writing.
