Anyone read the latest edition of Car and Driver? Not once was Acura mentioned nor did they include Acura in their comparison between the 328i, A4, G25 and s60 and c250.

Somewhere in-between there belongs a TSX or TL.

 

What's Acura?

 

Not redheaded, but it does have a beak....

 

What's a TSX or TL?

 

Keep in mind that these magazine's sometimes have a policy that only all new, heavily revised models or past comparo winners are brought back into new comparo's. Its possible that the TSX and TL lost a past comparo and aren't 'new' enough to warrant being brought back.

Its not a huge deal.

 

And moved to Car Talk.

 

Check out the May issue of Motor Trend. They looked at some of the same vehicles, and included a TSX in the comparison .

This reminds me of a video review of the TSX wagon on youtube by autobytel,
The reviewer seems to question whether or not Acura really is a luxury brand. Then he whines about having to use a key to start the car. Poor baby, you have to turn a key.

 

Acura isn't the stepchild, it's the family's pet bird.

 

I think this was it. However, Motor Trend did include the TSX in the test and unfortunately it did not do so well.

 

Seriously though, this has been discussed many times in the sub-forums, including Car Talk...

 

Makes sense and you're right it isn't.. It's not like I'm losing sleep over it I was just curious and was looking to read some other peoples opinions. It just feels as if the Acura is in a class all by itself and that's not necessarily a good thing.

 

Wrote a smaller letter to Car and Driver about this and I'm told they'll be publishing it in their next issue... so look out for me!

 

You never see other cars companies compare to Acura in commercials either. Every single Lexus commercial they always say better than Mercedes, BMW, Audi, etc.

 

meh who cares

 

If you have to ask, then you already know the answer ...

 

people buy acuras?

 

Acura.....


....always a bridesmaid, but never a bride.

 

^ LOL Well put.

 

I just bought my first one, and I'll buy another one too!

 

It has been like that for years. I started my subscription in 1990 and there weren't many included since then. I don't remember seeing too many long term tests or comparos. They usually show up in the new car issue and that's about it.

 

nsx was just on the cover last 2 months ago?
could of been road and track, but same shit..

 

acura is becoming toyota of the past decade
