I was in a dentist waiting room yesterday and I got bored, so I grabbed a Motor Trend magazine and started reading an article about the General Motors ignition switch thing. The picture was a bit off though. There was a picture of a Dark BLue Cobalt. That's all fine and good, but the caption reads: "1995 Chevrolet Cobalt." The Chevrolet Cobalt wasn't made until a decade later in 2005.

I don't even know how a mistake like that happens. I could partly understand a typo from like 2005 to 2006, but 1995 instead of 2005 is ridiculous.

Am I the only one who wants to know how the dentists was?
And wow, seems like a big error, for a mag designed specifically about cars to make...

Hello am I the only one here that cares that people died in these cars ?
What really sucks is that GM knew about the ignition switch problem for years. Did they care ? Obviously not. Will they pay the Millions in fines ? Probably not.

Lol doesn't look like the editor is very smart :D This car isn't even REMOTELY similar to the cars made in the 90's
