Journalists are writing stories to make money. With the internet the first people to break a story get the most clicks and make the most money so the pressure is on to get something out there.
In this particular case my distrust is triggered by a couple of things. One is the shady act with the tranny document. The other is that they state that Tada made statements to their one reporter that have zero support anyplace else. Nobody, not one single other source (including articles written by their own people at the same time as this was released) supports the statement that was supposedly made. Was this one single guy the only person that has been told this? Does that seem real?
I will not say not to trust them but I personally have lost all faith in even the highest reputation sites. If they were to be believed we could run down and pick up a turbo 2016 BRZ today because ALL the sites said that both Toyota and Subaru top executives said they would be out by then.
Now... sometimes they get something right but that is more due to statistical probability than good detective work.
It is really just my cynicism at work but we will see who is right before long.

Well damn. I've been pretty skeptical of most info, including that transmission document and whatever speculation is always around about the 86, but for some reason that article didn't trigger that because it seemed like a primary source.
