Here is an article I found on Edmunds today. Sorry if this has been posted already!

I would probably take out the word designed and replace it by engineered in cooperation with. You can read more about the project below:

I just cut and pasted the title of the article from Edmunds, which can be found here:

Perhaps you can voice your concerns w/ them.

Actually if you want to get semantic, you said "designed", and in the body of the story (which they took/stole from Automotive News) they say "engineered". That is of course not counting what some intern scribbled in the caption of the ancient spy photo on the right.

Anyway my initial comment wasn't pointed at your post... it was rhetorical

Right, but I cut and paste their title, in which they used designed, as well as the link to the story. That's what the second link was for, to show their title (identical to the one I used as the subject).

I'll say it again; I was being rhetorical with my comment. But given that, I really don't understand what you're trying to explain. The article's title is "Buon Giorno, British Mini!" which literally translates to "Good Day, British MINI". Nowhere do the use the term design in the title. Not that I really care what Edmunds conjures up as I was speaking rhetorically.

I meant their title/subject on the page w/ all the news stories:
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/NewsLanding

That's where they use design. Since they used that as their subject, I just cut and pasted it for the topic here as well.

Stupid Edmunds.
