Here We Go With Another Ridiculous MAD Fold-In

We've all been reading review after review after review. And by now we're probably all getting sick of these articles telling us we're into one of the greatest cars since sliced bread. So, if you haven't yet had your fill of all this repetitive gargoyle, here's one more chance.

The more the merrier, especially after the C & D.

Thanks for the heads up.

In the driving impressions, I found 2 statements in the review that seem to contradict each other, but acually, IMHO, highlite the strengths and weakness of the TL.

This was said after driving on the street:
"Perhaps, just maybe, Acura has unearthed the secret to BMW's vice-like grip on the top rung of the sports sedan ladder."


Then they took it to the track and made these observations:
"It was the suspension that disappointed in this closed-course, don't-try-this-at-home setting, waiting a bit too long before taking a set on entering a turn and then bobbing side to side an extra time or two when making quick, directional transitions in the midst of a compound turn. The experience was no where near egregious or over-the-top, just enough to invite a little earlier brake application and a gentle feathering of the throttle the next time around. In the race to catch BMW, it's nice, but no cigar, yet."

So if you are not racing, statement 1 seems most appropriate.

DMZ,

Loved your title!!! My first magazine subscription, a long long time ago, was MAD. The first thing I'd do was go to the last page to see the fold-in!
