Sweet. Don't forget to post up your thoughts on the car over all. HAve you test driven the Audi? Or it almost completely out of the running for you?

not bad for a 2.35L I4

Still a bit too zingy and not very torquey.

my main beef with acura is the styling, C&D once said the CL typeS had 'gov. issue styling' and other mags have critized it as well. i know this is a different car, but it still looks kinda boring

in the article it states its just a rebaged euro accord :devil

Honda makes some really good engines. They styling is so/so.

i went to drive it today, they had one in stock, but some truck was loading it to take it to another dealer. they said come back monday, but i'm going back to MD on monday. i guess i'll test it in 2 weeks or so, unless there's an acura dealer near school
