What kind of crap is this.

What the hell is the point of having a user awarded tech car of the year if the winner is going to be decided by the people hosting the poll? Check out CNETS tech car of the year. They said they favored the lexuses integrated nav traffic? Yea the RDX has that too and acura was an industry first with it in a production vehicle. http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10846_7...2.html?tag=txt CNET has just lost all credability with me and it shows that just like the magazines they are all on the take from car manufactures.

Ah, don't worry about it -- CNET doesn't even have much to do with cars. I doubt anyone will be influenced by the rating anyhow. It would be like taking computer advice from Motor Trend....

But...

I agree CNET's car advice should be taken with grain of salt, but one thing of not is that the RDX won the navigation system category AND was in the runner up list for best car and best audio system. No other car made more than 2 of the lists!

not bad considering it's a mid-30k car vs high end luxury.

and let's be honest, a car that can parallel park itself is super cool.

Have you ever read CNET's take even on computer stuff? When I read CNET (IF I do which is rare) it's with about a pound of salt. It's a glorified ad rag for the most part. Only thing I trust there are user reviews, and those also with a healthy skepticism.

If only they could get the car to turn the blinker off by itself too. Some of those drivers go on for miles with it on.
