Driver's Seat doesn't know the difference between a Honda and a Toyota

Canadian Automotive TV Show "Driver's Seat" shows a Toyota Yaris instead of the Honda Fit they are reviewing. Things start out OK, but watch when they switch to the exterior action shots.

So what view should I take? That an overworked, under-appreciated editor mixed up two red Japanese hatchbacks? Or that a show that claims to be the "Gold Standard in Canadian Automotive TV Journalism" showed the wrong car.

Maybe it was even on purpose, like "Oh no the camera man lost the Fit tape... I know, let's edit in the Yaris footage - no one will notice". Well they didn't count on a sharp-eyed car enthusiast with a TiVo and too much time on his hands.
