Huh? Is that for the 'Active Steer' equipped or is the regular rack electric assist also? The Mazda RX-8 uses an electrically powered hydraulic rack with decent feel. The old Acura NSX used an electric assist rack (and felt like it had had a shot of novacaine - besides having a bit of a quirky turn-in feel). I claim that GM's magnasteer has all the effort and none of the feel of a manual rack.

Steering feel is one of the things that endears a car to me, if there is too little feedback or too artificial a feel I won't consider it. The test drive will be important.
