The magazines make up A LOT of things just to get a prospective reader involved. The stuff they used to say about BMW whilst I worked there was just completely untrue and was never planned to go into production. The very reason I cancelled my subs to Auto Express as it was far to sensationalist and guessed at the looks and spec of cars far off production, and as such I feel it deserves it's red top!!!Auto Express is a joke with the mock-ups it uses on the FRONT COVER! FFS!I don't mind it - but then I take it to be a bit like reading The Sun ..... a quick read and not necessarily accurate

thought autocar was saying 211 bhp gti and then a 4 wheel drive 265bhp 4 cylinder to follow?or was it a tough day in the office today?
....'4WD' (probably R32 haldex style) 265bhp 4-pot turbo sounds much more interesting a couple of years from now.
