Must be the same people who wrote the Associated Press
story on Dodge reentering the police car market with a
police Intrepid. The DCX press release claimed the old
TV sitcom "Car 54 Where Are You?" used a "Desoto
police car" ("S" uncapitalized in Chrysler's own press
release!). That was bad enough, but the AP story
referred to it as a "Dodge Desoto"...
I seem to remember the squad cars on Car 54 always
being Plymouths, a brand name that (understandably)
still has the power to make DC press flacks uncomfortable...
