Wow, the list of things wrong with that article are almost too long to mention, but I'd still like to point out a few highlights.

1) They repeatedly discuss "new design" of both the interior and exterior. They compare the lines of the new car to the out-going model...WHAT?...huh?...they look the identical except for the badge and side mirrors Same goes for mention of the washi aluminum as if it were new. Did these people time-warp straight from 2006 to 2009 somehow?

2) "power windows with one-touch auto up/down front windows": WRONG all 4 windows are one-touch down but only the driver's is one-touch up.

3) Should I even bother to point out that the pictures are all of a RWD Sport model even though they're reviewing an AWD non-sport model

4) "One big disappointment, however, is that the new engine doesn’t sound half as good as the old 3.5-liter V6.": This one's a bit subjective I guess but It's pretty universally agreed that the 3.5L sounded like it was gargling rocks in the upper rev range.

5) "... the Acura TSX, which for 2009 comes with AWD for the first time. It’s quite a bit larger of a vehicle...": I can only assume these morons are talking about the TL not the TSX.

I could easily go on but you all get the point. Reading this article is actually big fun. It's like playing Where's Waldo but the objective is to find any accurate or useful information.

Hence my "For what it's worth" comment.

Seems to me that the author simply tacked on a few notes about the `09 G37 to an old `07 or `08 G35 article. Pretty lame.
