I hate that article...I can't tell you how many times I've changed something in there, only to have it changed back...

Go ahead, guess. When that article first came under the microscope here, it was filled with quite a few inaccuracies. There's a thread on it somewhere here. A couple of us changed a few things, and a little while later, it was back.

Just another reason why I hate Wiki.

I have changed a few things on that article as well - I actually wrote the sentence about early car desirability.

Often times the article will be edited so someone can change the published power output figures. Like saying the 2.7 had 170HP and the 2.5S was 200HP, and one time the turbo S was like 280HP...lol

I thought this was particularly funny on the comment tab......I am suspecting someone from here added the response to Stephen's comment.

Nudity on recently-added linkFreedomSeven just added a link to 944time.com, which looks to be a great repair reference site. Unfortunately, it also has a picture of a semi-naked or naked woman on every page. Given that the article has nothing to do with naked women, do people think it's appropriate to link to that page? I didn't find anything in the external links section that seemed particularly appropriate. Stephen Hui 14:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC) <-- Stephen Hui Is A Homo!!! Who Agrees with me?! XD
Regardless of anyone's personal views on nudity, the link in question should at minimum carry a "NSFW" notation. 171.159.64.10 (talk) 14:18, 31 August 2010 (UTC) Who's never been naked before? Raise their hand. *sarcasm* a "NSFW" notation would be nice for our 24/7 Fully clothed readers. I would like to second the notion for both the notation and the previous comment about Mr. Hui. As for me, I live in a Nudist county
