Hey wait a minute. I sat w/ John Davis at a McLaren party in Indy for 2 1/2 hours and this guy knows his cars. Why wld you automatically discount his show's findings if bad (accel times) and accept the good findings (braking)? And BTW- MT blows, Car and Driver all thje way!!!!!!!!!! Car of the Year-patoooey, whatta crock o' shit.

I agree. Motor Week is a very reputable program. I also agree that the Car of the Year is a bunch BS. Many times I have seem these so call Car of the Year either had recall problems, reliability issues, or simply just not the car I want to buy. I have yet to purchase any of the Car of the Year cars for the last 15 years. Has any of you lately bought any?

Lots of people have a G35 right now. It seems the coupe version is the choice for people that are deciding to change cars.

1/4 mile at 14.8. Not bad at all for a stock TL.

suite your self sir, but when it comes to 1/4mile times, I stick with motortrend. I've found them to be the most accurate.
