Featured in This Comparo Acura TL Audi A4 3.2 Quattro BMW 330i Cadillac CTS Infiniti G35 Lexus IS350 Saab 9-3 Aero Volvo S60R AWD
Click above and go through all the links.
For pure acceleration, go with Lexus (5.1 s), or with either Infiniti or Acura (both 5.9 s).
In brief:
4th Acura TL Highs: Lubricated controls, a V-6 that loves its redline, everyone's favorite back seat. Lows: Jittery ride, steering gets squirmy when you goose it. The Verdict: A sharp design without fatal flaws.
5th Audi A4 3.2 Quattro Highs: Serene expressway cruiser, German sportlich handling, the same brilliant Audi interior. Lows: Expensive, back seat is a phone booth for three, the same brilliant Audi interior. The Verdict: Audi stands pat as others catch up.
1st BMW 330i Highs: Everything lovable about a BMW is there, no infuriating iDrive in our test car. Lows: Cold interior design, fritzing electrics, a Platinum Visa price. The Verdict: The preferred running shoes for runners.
6th Cadillac CTS Highs: Distinctive machete-hewn styling, "GM" and "handling" are an oxymoron no longer, solid torque, lustrous paint. Lows: Exhaust drone, blurry controls, dime-store dash a generation behind the competition. The Verdict: An extended teaser for the next CTS.
3rd Infiniti G35 Highs: Makes fast-car noises, attacks corners, strikes a happy balance between ride and handling. Lows: Some buzzes and rattles, gauges hard to decipher, stability control prone to epileptic outbursts. The Verdict: Aging gracefully down the rankings.
2nd Lexus IS350 Highs: The quiet horsepower king, seamless interior finish, the most entertaining Lexus so far. Lows: No way to unplug the stability control, no stick shift with the big V-6, back seat gets the bottom score. The Verdict: Speaks softly and carries a big stick.
8th Saab 9-3 Aero Highs: Mod cockpit details, generous back seat, lusty thrust once the turbo is spinning. Lows: Clomps over bumps, a sloppy shifter, turbo lag, a sea of tiny buttons on the dash. The Verdict: Somebody tell GM that mediocrity is not a Saab heritage trait.
7th Volvo S60R AWD Highs: Made-by-Maserati interior, thorough upgrades that separate it from other snoozy Volvos, decent ride with suspension set to comfort. Lows: Has an on/off switch instead of a throttle, lifeless steering, priced for a Pentagon spreadsheet. The Verdict: A wealthy guy's WRX. 1/1/2006 7:00:52 PM |

You're an idiot.
1. The V6 Mustank looks exactly like the v100 Mustroller. 2. Still doesn't change the fact that the SUV there looks butt ugly.1/1/2006 10:54:11 PM |

A-spec?
brembo brakes, new wheel and tire package, revised spring rates, cosmetic shit.
concept should have been pushed through.

I didn't start shit. Mofo got his britches twisted even though I was talking to the d00d with the ugly car.
And you are pathetic if the only thing you can do is either WHINE WHINE WHINE on a message board to get someone suspended, or if you just try to troll someone everywhere like a loser. 1/3/2006 6:48:47 AM |
