CNET (www.cnet.com), the trusted, unbiased resource dedicated to
helping consumers live the digital lifestyle, and a property of
CNET Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:CNET), today announced the 2005 Acura
RL as the winner of its First Annual "Tech Car of the Year" Award.
CNET's Car Tech editors selected the 2005 Acura RL for having the
best and most innovative power train, safety technologies, and
in-cabin electronics. The winner was selected from 2005 model
vehicles that earned high ratings from CNET.com's editors. "The
Acura RL showed us a car company could stick its neck out and
embrace consumer electronics in a way carmakers are traditionally
hesitant to do," said Brian Cooley, editor-at-large at CNET.com.
"The best indication of the quality of its vision is that it is no
longer alone as a technology drenched car, yet it is still the most
impressive combination of visionary technology and relative
affordability." The 2005 Acura RL was selected from a list of
nominees which included: 2005 Audi A4 Avant; 2006 Audi S4; 2006 BMW
330i; 2006 BMW 750Li; 2005 Cadillac CTS; 2006 Infiniti M35x, 2005;
Land Rover LR3 HSE; 2006 Lexus RX 400h; and the 2006 Mercedes-Benz
E350. Audi and BMW received special recognition for receiving top
ratings for two autos each in the past year. CNET Car Tech was
