Slipping standards

There are at least two things not right about this report in The Scotsman:
A MOTORIST came under fire from a hail of bullets as he drove along one of Scotland's busiest motorways. The 47-year-old was targeted by a gunman in another car on the M8 near Glasgow's Charing Cross just after 11pm on Thursday.
Between three and four shots were fired at his silver Mitsubishi 4X4 from a silver Ford Focus, which manoeuvred through fast-moving traffic as the gunman attempted to hit the driver.

First, "three or four shots" does not constitute "a hail of bullets".

Second, a Ford Focus? What kind of gangster drives a Ford Focus?
