Pretty sure its not the magnetic system. Reads like the computer controlled high speed valving that BMW uses.

Mag is a better system but the high speed valving is very very good.

Acura press release

"Using sensor data, each damper incorporates a continuously adjustable valve which raises or lowers damper fluid pressure and thus the speed at which the fluid can flow from one end of the damper tube to the other. This varying flow rate allows quick and precisely........."

GM lists MagneRide was first used by General Motors in the 2002 Cadillac Seville STS. Currently, it is used throughout GM’s model portfolio either as an option or as standard equipment on various Cadillac, Buick, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles. Other automakers including Ferrari, Audi, Land Rover, and Ford are also using the technology.

Lamborghini & MB are also using the technology, could be others.

I a 19 RDX video an Acura reps says they used the valve/fluid dampers vice the magnetic ferro fluid to reduce costs.
