True! Total waste of my day. And what about those elementry descriptions of the engines!! OMG did not even mention the the "Dual Stage" intake and trying to compare it to the 290hp NSX engine? BOOOOO HISSSSSS.

I laughed I cried, I kissed a 1/2 hr. goodbye!!

For those who missed this thing, not to worry- you can get better info on this board.

Yeah I know, I know. but saving for those Springs and headers!

The thing is I'm not much of a mainstream TV fan. I was just somewhat dissapointed because Speed does have some nice
stuff on.

Bah, good old TiVo taped it for me, but I wish it hadn't.

Boy did that "test drive" suck ass... I mean REALLY suck ass.

They could have at least gave out some times or somethin'

Yea, I just got done watching my tape.
It was basically a ½ hour Acura commercial.
They seemed to like the RSX better then the CL.

The only BAD thing they mentioned about the cars was the stock tires which we all know about.

I could EASILY find some room in my garage for that SWEET yellow NSX.

Everybody saw the CLS lay some rubber to the ground right? Eh, it wasn't good but it wasn't bad. They really didn't do much more with the Lexus test drive either. Overall, for Joey bag-a-donuts, i think the program was a good introduction. I'm just happy that Acura finally did something to promote itself.


Btw, just hit 3k posts

Eh, i'd watch it again just because they talk about the cars. However, they don't spend NEARLY enough time on the CLS as they should......big suprise. I think board members were expecting a bit much.

I know I was... I did see the CLS lay rubber, that was the best part of the whole show.

coolest part about that program was the slo-mo of the ORIGINAL and STILL the best looking NSX in the begining

and yes, Shawn's right, they did hype up the RSX as being the newer and better engine b/c of iVtec...they played down engine noise in the RSX as being more of a sporty feel than a nuisance...i do agree with their analysis that the CLS is a sports touring coupe, b/c that's EXACTLY what it is IMO...i liked how they said the CLS seats were comfy enough to take long trips with, and the other guy tried to claim the RSX seats were just as comfy

Yeah, too much emphasis on the RSX. The CL-S seemed like an afterthought!
