You're correct about that. The article writer should have done his damn homework. As a point of interest, however, it might be worth mentioning that in the three years that the Pontiac slant-4 was in production ('61-'63), it did, in fact, beat out International's slant-4 displacement, as the corn binder was only at 152 cubic inches. The 196 wasn't released until 1966.
For what it's worth, my family has owned both of these vehicles with their slant-4 drivetrains. Love the distributor caps!
