    The headline on the story, as it refers to Prius, is unsupported by what's in the article--it admits the figures aren't broken out by model line. And the "unaffected by recalls" is based on an assertion of lower certified used sales numbers for most manufacturers.

    One of the great differences between newspapers and blogs is that newpaper folks have both the skill and the job description to get the headline right.
    Many bloggers have neither.

    Not my local papers. I saw numerous disconnects in newspaper headlines long before blogging was invented.
