Re: Koenigsegg CCXR
[edit]You're right, that was a Koenigsegg press release copied by that website. However reprinting copyrighted text, even promotional material, goes against Wikipedia policy. You're more than welcome to post a brief summary of the release in your own words, as long as it is written in a neutral tone. As for the stats, a press release may certainly be used as a reference for such information (in {{Infobox Automobile}}, for instance). On a side note, welcome to Wikipedia! ˉˉanetode╦╩ 03:28, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
