Red face Acura is like... Buick?

Just received the June 25th issue of Autoweek. They have a "Driving Impressions" article about the Type-S. The guy's first impression of the Type-S was a Buick. (I thought no way!) But he was comparing the way older Buicks were understated in appearance like the Type-S is but were really hot-rods. (I began to feel better about this guy.) Anyway, he really like it and it's a must read for all us Type-S owners. The article is probably on Autoweek's web site if you don't get the mag.

My friend own two Buicks, a 1969 LeSabre and a 1972 Skylark GS - neither is a slouch in the acceleration department by any means :-)

No....the no link policy only applies to links that sells items (like www.buy.com or whatever). I doubt autoweeks review counts....even if they're a magazine. (technically...people's picks are links on other websites...but links non the less)

speaking of buicks, theres some cherry grand national gnx's (only 547 originally made)sitting around collecting dust.

ive seen them for around w/no miles...hard pressed to find a car that can take that thing stoplight to stoplight. 3.8L-T 275hp/360ftlb from the factory. of course they are going at auction for close to 30K.

i loved those things growing up (im 26) but never as much as my type sssssssss.

Well OK but they do sell stuff: www.autoweek.com

But I don't see the story for the Type-S there yet--maybe later. It is on page 16 of the magazine.
