Has Car & Driver, Road & Track, or Motor-Trend released any long term test articles on the CL-S? I saw a quick report on Motor Trend Television this week, about a one year update, and I'm wondering if this is in print too. It didn't say much, but on the TV report, Motor Trend was still happy with the "strong and smooth high-revving engine", good gas mileage, and crisp handling." They didn't have too much bad to say. I didn't catch everything, but guess what? One of the negatives was that: while the 17" wheels are very attractive, we found that they are too prone to scratching. None of us would know anything about that, would we! Oh well, I still like the wheels anyway. If anyone has seen a long term report in print, could you pass on the issue info. Thanks.

The brand new Motor Trend has a bunch of Acura stuff. First a nice 2 page ad for the TL-S. Looks good, back road twisties shot. First drive review of the 03 6 speed. It's very positive, 6.1 for 0-60. Here's the ending sentence : " About the only place to go from here is an M3, but you won't get there at anything close to this price. " Finally, a one year update on the CL-S. They are impressed with " it's combination of performance, high feature content, and exceptional value. They are concerned with " a few little creaks and squeaks that have shown up "
