cool.... i had just checked their website this morning thinking they would have tested one by now.

 

The actual showing of this episode is to air on April 15th on speed channel at 8:30 A.M. eastern time.

 

OOH!!! That's right thanks for the reminder.

 

I'm taping it I'll make sure i'll have a blank by tommarrow.

Saturday morning here i come. They better run like a 13.4

 

Tivo is set.....Though the "keys" portion of the show is usually a static display, ie rundown, of the car. they usually don't do an extensive road performance test on the "keys" cars right?

SC~

 

tnx for the info

 

Motor Week gets some very strange numbers.... they got a 14.9 for a 4 door GSR integra back in 1994....then a 14.9 for the S2000 in 1999...then a 14.4@100mph for the Altima 2 years ago.

I predict......14.2 @ 98mph.

 

I just got done watchint Motor Week and they provide no info at all. They just state that its a fast car. But it does provide good visual of the car and also gives it a good image.

 

What's the point if they were not planning to test it

 

Thanks for the listing date and time this is good

 

I have noticed that US car mags and related shows are notorious for making BS claims and factpinions on new cars.

UK mags are much more honest about what is crap and what isnt.
