What's up, why haven't any mags done anything with the '05s this year? Even boring Focus's and Civics have been getting some coverage.

To any magazine staff out there: Many of us have been waiting to read about some tests, comparos, and opinions. There have been some pretty significant changes such as the interior upgrades, loss of the Brembo brakes, and increased HP with a loss of TQ. This car deserves some coverage.

 

The only review I've seen just came out this week, and it's just a little snippet with hardly any info.

Not only short but blatantly incorrect... 298 hp @ 4800 rpm?? The sad part is that I have the actual magazine in front of me and it says the same thing...

 

Since it's not a totally new design, I bet they are working on a comparo with the new 3 series and might even wait for the new Lexus IS before focusing too much attention on it...

You also have to realize that all those publications are really controlled be very few publishing companies and their subsidiaries.
