'03 6 Speed on Motorweek

Did you guys catch it? They tested an Anthracite with Navi. 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds and 14.5 @ 96 mpg in the 1/4 mile.

Overall positive review. Nothing new.

I sense a bit of FWD envy on your part. Could it be you miss FWD? For a temporary fix I suggest you drive your beemer in reverse for 10 minutes a day. Take 2 aspirin for the neck ache, and see your shrink in the morning.

Actually Motorweek characterized the handeling as very neutral even at the limits. The helical LSD was a big factor. Not sure I remember exactly buy they thought it was one of the best handeling FWD cars ever. I think Acura set this car up very well.
Oh BTW have you ever DRIVEN a 6 speed CL? Or are you just a young, inexperienced, idealistic DOGMA person?

Nice review, other than complimenting the stock Michelins...

Another great review of the 6sp. However I disagree with them saying that the Michelins were great handling tires.

It was on twice last weekend and my TiVo caught it, check your log to see why it didn't record.
