They have the math wrong too when they are talking about the 1080 degrees vesus the piston mostor's 720. Think about it. THese guys must have been under a five minute deadline.

That's a pretty big no no if they didn't have authorization from Mazda or the author, because it was in a for-profit magazine.

That would be unbelievably stupid for them to do something like that, since it's a national distribution print publication, not a website (where you can just pull offending items off, like most internet plagiarizers do). But I guess it's not out of the realm of possibility, considering some of the stuff going on these days...

So there wasn't even a footnote or anything giving credit?

I pulled the magazine out of the bookshelf and am looking at it right now. They do site the work, just like treceb listed, on the opening page of the article.
