Nice detective work. Here's the story. Several news outlets state that Nissan is working on color-changing technology for their automobiles. Someone calls Nissan, who says they have no idea where people are getting this. Blogger tracks down the original stories, and recovers how asides in early articles were picked up later, like tumbling dominos, into misunderstandings about Nissan and this technology. I bet it only helped Nissan, though.
