I can't speak for Park Ave Acura but I would have to say that this is one of those case by case problems. I do think driving style has a lot to do with the wear on your rotors. I used to have a GSX and warped the brakes in 3 months, under 2000 miles. I would drive like a maniac, pour on the brakes at the last second, duck through traffic and get those babies HOT! then when I went to the dealer mad, the parts MGR refused to resurface or replace for free.

The mechanic pulled me into the bay and was very up front with me and told me he put new rotors on the car for no cost (buried it under faulty parts) but told me that it was my driving and he could tell by the condition of the tires and the front end.

So, IMO, I don't have enough miles on my car to judge the CLS but I can tell you bad driving equals bad brakes FAST.
