Comment on Why do media always specify a car's model in news stories?
Fallibilist@feddit.uk 1 week agoThe exact make and model isn’t always strictly relevant. In this particular example it would suffice to just say “large SUV” or similar. Not everyone knows what kind of car a LandCruiser even is.

Yes but sometimes it is relavent. And it’s safer to have one consistent style of reporting for this sorta things. So when it does matter it’s not accidentally forgotten or over looked.
It’s a better safe than sorry approach.
