Things will get more interesting when the comparison tests include the new TL with 270 hp...

Re: 5.6 sec 0-60 time - Automobile Magazine

Ok, I made the mistake of going and buying the issue.

I'll post up the numbers and words on the G35 later this evening.

But they only do *very* brief explanations of each car, then offer no logical reasons why they ranked the cars where they did. So how they came up with the rankings seems like they pulled straws out of their collective @sses to figure it out.

Either way, they liked the G and it's performance figures were at the head of the class... a class which included the Evo and WRX.

The TSX they tested was a 6-speed, but for their testing took 8.2 seconds to 60??? Same as a BMW 325i -- with an automatic (another stupid choice... they actually picked the auto over the manual 325. once I heard that, I thought "WTF is this mag? Consumer Reports?")

Is the TSX really that turd-slow?

Anyway, the G came out looking good, but like I said, it was like 50-words max on each car.

Lame.

Makes me realize why I subscribe to Car and Driver. Like 'em or not, their comparos are much better done.
