Thanks for the find.
I love this line..

 

Yes good find. Enjoyable read. I like this line.

 

Great find. Thanks!

I really can't wait to check out the Navi system in this new G. Every single review to date has had nothing but great things to say about it.

 

I didn't fiddle much with it but at first blush it's awesome.

 

^+1...
The graphics alone are a huge improvement.

 

Dan Neil, the reviewer, won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism for writing cаr reviews. That's like winning the Nobel Prize in literature for writing soap operas. It's not impossible to do, but you have to be really, really good at it to pull it off. Neil is really, really good.

 

He missed a fairly big point ..... I quote from the article

If I recall correctly, the old model HP numbers were based on the older method of estimating HP -- not the stricter SAE method that is used for the 07 model.
So the actual difference in HP is more than just 8 !!

But nevertheless, it is a well written article (at least by newspaper car article standards !!)

 

I think I'm turning Japanese, too. I really think so.

 

Not to mention that the 298 was for coupes only and not for sedans IIRC...

 

Nope, the 6MT Sedans were rated for 298 as well.

 

Actually 293 for '06 under the new standards.

 

Yeah, sorry. 298 under the old way.

 

Yeah, we're splitting hairs. To the original the point the difference is more than 8hp reported in the column. It's actually 13 from the 6mt and 31 from the AT.

 

Yup -- that's all I was trying to say

Thanks for the summary !
