Latest, greatest 0-60 for the 330ix
Now, Motor Trend has the all wheel drive 330ix (which I recall having slower 0-60's than the coupe) at 5.8 seconds 0-60. What's up with that? Can that be true? I thought the test against the CLS the 330 coupe with sports suspension was 0-60 in 6.2.
Either they found a way to launch that sucker like crazy or they are just putting a nice time into the back of the magazine archives for the BMW.

Yeah I remember reading that too. It's awfully hard to believe. On the one hand AWD makes the car heavier and hence slower. On the other hand, it makes it easier to launch. At best, I would expect it to match the 330Ci at 6.2. I look at this number like the 6.7 number for the TL. Let's see if anyone can duplicate it. I wouldn't take that bet ![](http://www.acura-cl.com/ubb/biggrin.gif)

Let's face it, that car is faster, but I'd rather get the CL for the money.
