I've read that review before- did they borrow it from another magazine?

Yeah, they borrowed it from their own magazine...

That is the same review that was in the actual magazine last month. It seems that they just recently put it up on the site... old news.

I get confused: is that the 237bhp version we expected or the soon to be announced 229bhp version?
