Motoring 2009 Review...
http://www.motoringtv.com/singleview...09.flv&yr=2009

This is a pretty popular automotive program on ESPN up here in Canada. The reviewer, Graeme Fletcher, is pretty bang on with his reviews. He doesn't typically gush over a lot of cars, so I usually respect his opinions.

I especially agree with his last statement in the review!

Enjoy!

Excellent. I really want the manual, but it's going to be a long wait. Perhaps longer than I can stand!

Great review from a even better reviewer! From some of the other ones we seen, this guy does it right. Good quick editing, precise comments, no dorky remarks, and of course the best part, he loves the car!

Great review of a nice car, still not crazy about the styling but impressive none the less.
Still wish Acura would address the styling a bit, still a bit steep at $47K loaded with navi and awd.

Some people around here were able to get the AWD Tech for $10K less.

Given the exchange rate, that's a much lower price than we get in the US.

Huh??? The CAD $ is worth .77 USD right now....

I though a SH AWD Tech was around $39 - $40K in the US?

Nope, a SH-AWD Tech is $42,235 before destination.

YES! That deep blue color in the video is absolutely beautiful! Does the video represent the deep blue color quite accurately?
