New C&D Delivered... No TL Review??
I can't figure Acura out... why do they sit on their collective tuft and let mags like C&D go to press with a December issue without a full reivew of their new star car??
I, for one, would really fell better about my $35k investment after seeing a (undoubtedly qualified) glowing review in my favorite auto rag! I expect the glowing TSX review helped a few folks hand over a 30,000 high stack of washingtons to Acura.
In fact, I think I'm going to wait to buy until I read their review. Esp. since it'll undoubtedly be the stiffer 6MT.
Grrr..... It seems that Honda/Acura isn't as media-friendly and hype-y as other manufacturers. Is this an "accurate" (ha) assessment?

Jon,
I wouldn't be too hard on C&D. Like you, I'm devouring everything I can read about the TL and feel disappointed if a mag is even short an ad, but I think what most of them are waiting for is a comparison view of all the vehicles in the class. I for one relish such an article as it may make my own search clearer! BTW, I used to live in Phxville before moving to sunny FL. My wife's family still lives there and we are looking forward to a Thanksgiving visit and holiday shopping at THE mall!

Hey, you x-pa's (x-pats?)... all the more room for ME!
As much as I definitely think the TL deserves to be matched up, I think it also deserves its own full review. I think it will get one, too. I'm just kind of surprised that with an October release, the full review will come in January's issue.
FYI - The Auto Manus have a lot more say in what's written about, and when than you'd think. C&D almost always orders direct from the manu (not from a dealer.. like CR does), and typically gets stuff prior to you and me so they can time their reviews with releases.
