Default Cnet car of the Year? VOTE LS460!

http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10846_7...2.html?tag=txt

The LS is currently in 2nd place behind the crappy Acura RDX...We all know the LS460L has A LOT more luxury and tech than the measly Acura! Come on everyone vote for the Lexus!

The RDX is clearly superior to the LS... I mean, who wouldn't find a $30k car better than a $70k car! Yeah right!!!!

Along those lines, I find it strange that Acura doesn't have a car that competes with the LS. I wish that they would make it as it would give us more options and would make the market that much more competitive resulting in better cars all around.

I voted and posted a comment in support of the LS 460 L. It's already won the Popular Mechanics and Popular Science awards, and TRG already said it has the most number of advanced technological features on the market...so it's definitely been recognized. Plus CNET already gave it 10.0 Perfect, first ever, for auto tech. The LS is definitely deserving!

lol, yeah we got a thread but every time there is a poll, all 10 million Acura fans ages 3-16 find a poll, post a link on their forum, and win.

No way a Lexus forum can beat that many kids.

Maybe add LS and GS votes? Lexus does have 2 cars present and the hybrid tech in the GS 450h is astonishing.

I refuse to participate in such poles when there is cheating involve. It's bad as it is that the Acura forum has to gather their votes together, yet people are doing the same here. In the end, if one brand wins, the other complains and vice versa. No one gets my vote

No to mention this could be a fixed result by cnet too. I voted also and it still shows 13 points difference between the two. Acura must be paying cnet more to keep that car in 1st place.

Oh well...The LS is now about 100 votes behind. We all know the true winner will always be the LS. The Acura doesn't even have any technology that is revolutionary...

To tell you the truth, out of the list of cars, there is easily 5-7 cars that are much better than the Acura. I test drove one myself and its not great let alone worthy of the award.

Sorry for double post...

I found out how the Acura got so many votes. I checked the website's cookie feeder and it seems that the voter (notice no "s") basically voted, then erased history and cookies and then voted again...

Wow, I never knew people had this much time.
