Often when it comes to changes in the product line, a manufacturer manages the exact date of release of information to minimize causing people to defer their purchase to a subsequent year, leading to a decrease in current earnings.

Even when information gets out, it doesn't really mean everyone knows. True, people who search will know, but let's face it, we are more obsessed than the average porsche owner.

And the final reason is that sometimes a manufacturer is a) twicking the specs, or b) twicking the language on the PR. If they are twicking PR, their lawyers may be all over it saying it needs to be proofed and reviewed to avoid unintended representations or misstatements that they might be sued for later. If the are twicking the specs, similar issues.


Technically speaking, solely providing a link to a place where someone else hosts material has not been considered to be copyright violation. Posting definitely is. But as above, there are legitimate reasons for a company to not want even a link to material ( such as the information is not correct)
