What is wrong with that poll for the ultimate Japanese Supercar?

If I even told you have the Rl got on there, you would all fall out your seat laughing....

I voted for the RL, but I'm wondering how the hell it got on that list alongside the S2000.

LS loses to RL, and that's how it got on there.

That is a horrible comparison, and horrible picks for Japanese supercars

To make a long story short, a certain forum found the poll and got their people to vote RL at the begining of this poll, thus screwing the numbers. Its sad b/c instead of seeing HONESTLY what people think, we have to deal with cheaters....


Don't worry, Forbes was notified

RL got over 8000 votes, could a forum screw it that much?

Well, it's certainly what I think, although I'm not a member of any Acura or RL forum and had nothing to do with rigging any figures. The RL, in some ways, IS a supercar if you are looking at a TOTAL vehicle that you can buy at a local dealership at a reasonable price and enjoy as a daily driver, not just some low-slung Italian exotic that sits an inch off the ground, costs a half-million dollars, goes 200 MPH, and is in the shop more than it is out.
( The Nissan Skyline GTR, not yet available in the U.S., could also qualify as a Japanese supercar, but in a different way )

Heh, I just clicked on the poll again and noticed that theyre pitting the RL against the S2000. I own all 3, and theres no way I'd vote against my S!
