Man that auto show goes way back...Thorough and to the point...Nice review!

Video worked this time. Nice. Pretty accurate review also. However there are a few points I'd like to mention.

First, there is definitely turbo lag. I haven't driven enough turbo'd cars to compare but the car does not shoot off the line. During normal shiffting it hits you by surprise. I suppose if you are launching at 3K there isn't much lag but I definitely can tell it isn't linear.

Second, they were not satisifed with the braking numbers. I'm not sure what their basis for comparison was but it got top scores from R&T against the likes of Audi and BMW.

Finally, their complaint about road noise has some merit but I think they were just looking for flaws. Name a tuner/performance car that is dead silent from the inside. I guess it is just a trade off. Spot on handling comes at the price of ride comfort on bumpy roads.

Gonna go watch it again.

Idon't know if it was their intent or not but the car at the beginning of the video that he walks up to is not a MS6, and at the 1:33 mark they show the tires but those are not the stock Potenzas. Also they look like 40 series too.

Maybe I just have too much time on my hands. :D

I notice the car at the beginning, figured it was because they didn't have the car at the same time they had the host, but I wasn't really paying attention to the tread.

he said 'virtually no lag' which at least, i, agree with.

I had noticed the different car, tires, and the bogus complaint on the braking performance as well, however the rear seats (as we all know) will fold if needed and you could pass skis or some other long skinny item through, or even better it makes for easy access to the amp wiring when you mount 'em their!

Why is it everytime I hear someone say this car is "Fast and Furious" I want to pound nails in thier eye sockets.

but overall and iteresting review, i liked the cheesy guitar music in the background.
