Just got my Acura Style mag...

and promptly wrote into "Ask the experts" section to inquire about our trannies.

Will be interesting to see what they say. Or will we get the usual response of "we do not show an abnormal amount of tranny failures happening"

I doubt the people who produce that mag even work for Acura.

See that article on p. 9 about how companies are using software to scour the web for customer's comments regarding their products? Acura would love this site...

What exactly is the purpose of that mag? It seems like a big ad, but you have to own an Acura to receive the mag.

It is advertising. Most people don't hang out on the Internet chatting about cars all day. So if its been a while since they bought their Acura, they mind not even knows what's on the market. Maybe they're thinking about a new car. And the Acura Style mag shows up and gets them interested interested enough to see their local dealer.

I loved it. I mean I was just thinkin the other day, "I hate it how car mags always talk about cars." And what arrives in my mailbox, an Acura mag with riveting stories about Louisiana and skiing. Finally they figured it out...

I was reading the new Motor Trend and the NSX 6-speed has:
3.2 liter DOHC
290 hp I know that didnt change.
220 lb-ft I thought it had more than that.

Shouldn't an Acura magazine list the 6-speed as a change for the '02 CL??? The only things their "Insider's Guide" list are:

New color - dark emerald green
New rear view mirrors
Thicker moon roof glass
New key fob

Maybe it's just me because I couldn't care less about these things.

The mag is a rag.
