Poll: Best Type-S Review

[RUNN1N]

Demuro's video posted a day late but it is interesting that TH seems to have been iced out by Acura.

I... have to agree with the Raiti review. I paid close attention to his channel leading up to the press release because he seemed to be the only one providing any content for the ITS at all... but I couldn't make it through a minute of his actual review. Seems like a nice guy. Just not my speed.

Doug DeMuro Takeaways: He seemed very pleased with the car--clearly, he wasn't in Ojai with the other journalists... perhaps as a result of his critical opinions toward the FK8 and FL5. Like others have said, it's a CTR for "grownups". I do question his subjectivity a bit regarding his scoring--the ITS and CTR both achieved the same score overall, but were each (barely) edged out by the GR Corolla, which surprisingly scored well in Features, Quality, Comfort, and Practicality.... the GR Corolla seems rather spartan inside, is low on interior features, and has a tiny back seat. The CTR and ITS should whoop the GR Corolla in Doug's "Daily" column.

BEST PART: There's about 10 seconds of blooper at the end of the review where Doug gets interrupted by a dragonfly, and it's pretty great.

Joe Raiti Takeaways: I have to disagree with this guy--a true California burrito is one that contains french fries, not one comprised "90% of guacamole." This review is mostly nonsense.

Is that a chawarma?

Throttle House pretty much did exactly that with their G87 M2 review.

I kind of feel like that may have had something to do with why we don't see their review posted yet. Demuro's video posted a day late but it is interesting that TH seems to have been iced out by Acura.

Not sure why TH wasn't in California to drive the ITS but I don't know if there's any bad blood - maybe they had a scheduling conflict and couldn't make the first drive event, or maybe they deal with Acura Canada and they get second round after USA. For the A-Spec, TH wasn't at the Austin first drive in May 2022 - they got ther demo car in Canada and posted their first video in July.

For the CTR review, Thomas did go to Honda's event last fall and drove it on track there.

Let's hope they don't review on their own turf so they can get some lap times
