Some of the issue is that the reviewer has a "giant-killer mindset". These guys are always looking for something that performs as well as things costing far more. I am sure he touts his G-Shock as being far better than an Omega, and he is of course, smarter & cleverer for owning the Casio. So take that you peasants!
Years ago, R&T started all this by taking the Jackson Racing CRX and "beating" a Ferrari. Of course, as a kid, I bought it 100% and purchased a CRX. It was fun, but we did stereo installs on a few ferraris and the owners let us drive them. I'm sorry to report that I quickly saw why the ferrari was more expensive.
I love the new Integra, but minus the giant-killer hype,(which includes the recent obsession with criticizing the New M2) it is just a wonderfully tuned, outrageously overpriced Civic with cheapish interior, vacuum-cleaner 4 banger, and spinny front wheels. I would certainly buy one if Acura did not lose their collective minds and make it cost as much as a Supra. $35K is the limit for this thing.
