The article address the high expense of the A-spec package. It acknowledges both the positives and negatives of the package...It gives props to the suspension improvement, but also mentions torque steer again!

The article was positive, but ultimately leaves the choice of whether it's worth it to us, the consumer. At least they didn't spend the page whining about RWD...
