Why do dealerships always have misprinted ads?

I know cars pretty well and I know what all the models are supposed to look like. Why do the newspaper ads almost always have obvious errors, where the model name does not match the picture, such as a ford focus title and price with a ford fusion picture? Do they do that on purpose so they can weasel out of the deal? I know misprints happen, particularly in newspapers, but this is such a regular occurrence that there seems to be something intentional going on.

Answer
They do it on purpose to get you into the dealership and then try to pull the old 'bait and switch' on you.
