She falsely claimed that keyless entry didn't come on the '07 RDX and she also got the torque figure wrong. So much for thoroughly researching the vehicle.

CNET blows.

I bet she meant to say "keyless starter", which neither the 2007 nor 2008 model has.

Angry

This makes me hate c-net even more, their reviews are pretty much worthless in my opinion.

Cnet should stick with laptops and ipods. Does the public really need another website reviewing cars??

It's not the fact that she was wrong..but how she said what she did...especially the way she mentioned that there was no keyless entry...and also the whole aux in thing...well, she's not much of a geek cuz she's as dumb as a doornail.

Actually not that bad of a review. The errors for 2007 vs 2008 not really that big a deal and probably most non owners wouldn't know the difference. Bit the biggest slip up was the torque error which is incorrect for both 2007 & 2008. She said 236 when it is 260.

The guy reviewing the TL was bipolar. Love this, hate this, this is awesome, this sucks. Also didnt the RL win from these guys worst dash layout or something? Yeah needless to say they arent Acura fans.

Here's a written review of the RDX from the same folks. CNET is a tech magazine, so the review has a different slant from auto magazines.

I also think that the terms nerd and geek went out of relavance when Windows95 came out and stupid people started using computers.
