Volkswagen Australia Magazine - lack of care

[WABIT]

im actually the watercooled writer for this magazine, yes its embarrassing to see, but unfortunately out of my hands, my job is to find cars, and feature them, also another reason why its out of my hands is because he's based in QLD and im in VIC, therefore i cant really see anything else in the mag until it gets published

but some people are incorrect, i know my volkswagen's, its just a shame the majority of reporter's in the mag's are aircooled freaks......

I work in publishing and i can see how this can happen with deadlines looming stuff like this can easily slip through.
When sourcing the picture it should may have been labeled incorrectly but having said that it is not really acceptable for such a focused publication to make such errors as the sub-editor/editor should have noticed it. Doesn't the editor own a MK1?

It doesn't surprise me that this happened because although i have only bought the mag once or twice, it is not very well produced and confused in its layout & presentation. To me it's basically a 'club' magazine.

The MK1/2 confusion isn't confined to this mag though, i've had to explain the difference to folk over on vwgolf.net.au. MK1 pictures being posted in the MK2 picture thread (and vice versa) tut tut
