So It Wasn't Just Me...

When I first test drove the car the first thing I noticed was the door handle. It just felt really solid. I thought it was just me. Well in the latest MT editorial entitled "Impressive Details":

"Mercedes-Benz Automobiles have a reputation as high-quality, solidly built pieces of machinery. I'm convinced that impression begins with the bolt-action precision of the pull handle that's the first contact you have with a modern Mercedes. Acuras have a similar mechanism (although its faintly softer and more damped in its action)."

So I guess I'm not the only person

I don't understand what you're trying to say... Mercedes and Acuras have the same door opening mechanism?

No, what was "quoted" was from an article that compard the MB's solid door handles with Acura's.

Come on, man!

He's saying that Acura has the same "bolt-action" precision that Mercedes has - not that the specific mechanism is exact.
