3.5 stars is a tough pill to swallow. I'm shocked at the negativity of the track review, however in this situation they're actually trying to get a solid lap time instead of hooning the car sideways, and this will be where the Primacy tires falter in a big way. On the street, I'm pleased to hear they love the steering, but I'm not surprised to read they find the torque lacking, especially considering the tall gearing of the automatic.

I think I understand their perspective on the chassis feeling aloof despite being communicative and capable. IMO it's the ultimate compliment to how sorted the suspension is, however I also agree that it doesn't force the car to be fun. Satisfying for sure, but not fun.

It sounds like my test drive [whenever that is] will be the ultimate litmus test.
