That being said, as TCoat mentioned, there are a ton of bogus automotive news sites out there. Take everything with a big grain of salt until a manufacturer actually releases a statement.

My company is better than your company!!!!!
Ya, it wasn't the article that I was talking about in this case (I subscribe to the hardcopy as well) although they have got caught up in the rumour mill before. It was more the comments section. Anybody can make an account and comment and that is where you really need to be careful what you believe. Many of the older once reliable sites (i.e. Jalopnik) have gone down hill in credibility over the years since they are competing with so many clickbaits that they have to grab attention or die. It is also way to easy to look at some of the clickbaits and think they are OK.
