Yet another Evo review - this time from Marketwatch

Stumbled across this today, and a quick search didn't show that this had been posted yet, so...

Click here for the review

Kind of a middle of the road view, in my opinion. He seems very impressed with the performance aspect, but once again can't recommend it for the price based on the interior and amenities (although they don't mention what they would choose instead for the money). Nothing most of us haven't heard before, and not really surprising coming from a non-enthusiast website/reviewer.

Price wise I can agree. If I was to pick an MR or say Acura TL TypeS...I would get the TL.

If youre looking for a MR you're not going for the TL instead...and vice versa

Thanks for the link, I don't think I've read this one before. But to me, it's another reminder of why I'm tired of all sorts of publications always testing MRs. The problem is, they always like the performance but end the review with something about the $37k+ pricetag. Why don't some more publications give the standard IX/IX SE a try for practically identical performance in their standard tests but for more than $4k less? Then perhaps the pricetag may seem more justified in their opinion.
