Arrow The RL on Car & Driver this weekend

Did anyone catch the episode of Car & Driver this weekend. The RL was on there going up against the SRT-4 ACR, RSX Type S, Subaru WRX, and the Cobalt SS. They compared body style, power, interior comfort, pricing, and overall interior (i'm sure they covered more things, but that's the basics). Even though i love this car..they rated our baby's 5 out of 5....damn those bas****s to hell. I'd still never trade my baby in. If ya wanna read up on the reviews and episode to go www.caranddriver.com i'm sure it's there....

bt i was very excited to just see the REDLINE on there.....yayyyy go us with the fun car

meh. thats why i dont let other 'professional' people tell me about the car. if you love the car, it doesnt matter what others say, imho.
i drove the redline, and i loved it. i loved the lines, the looks, the interior, everything. but i AM peeved about the rsx-s getting first overall. thats a joke.

They don't post their most current articles on that website, its usually a good month behind, although if you look at the article its in the September's issue, Technically we're still in July.

all they said about the rl was that the interior sucks and so does the exterior, but they priase the slowest and a much more expensive care but oh well. At least the car made it on t.v.

Let's just all send them a nasty gram with a video of the RL walking away from the RSX........I agree that the Redline leaves a lot to be desired in the performace department, but as far as looks go, that's a personal choice, and if some of these aftermarket design engineers would get off of their butts and give us some options, I think we could have an awesome ride.

If you read that magazine every month like I do ,you start to see a pattern with Car & Driver.They are very "down" on any GM product.They seem to dump on just about every GM car.They have never liked Saturns for some reason.O'well F'em.

I agree completely. The only exception is the Corvette...
