2009 Acura RL = meh
I don't know what they're thinking with the front, it looks a lot like the new Camry. I think the rear is nice, but reminds me of the Lexus LS. I'm sure it's a great car, but the TL and TSX are so much better looking. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, cause I've never been a fan of the RL since 2001.

Just curious, why 2001? They were the same until 04, the current SH-AWD version came out for 05.
Anywho...
That grill is nastay.

Oh HELL no...talk about taking it in exactly the wrong direction!!
The current RL is ok...but WTF is this? I'm usually willing to go along with Honda's weird exercises in design, but this just looks too much like the new Accord. I understand they want a family resemblance...but I think that fewer people will buy this.

The RL was the only car in the whole line up that didn't look like it came from a Buck Rogers episode. It's classy.

Re: 2009 Acura RL = meh (SkoundrelUSA)
it gets a 3.7l SOHC V6 that now uses VTEC on both the exhaust and intake. But only puts out 300hp. Thats not much more than the 07 RL and its only about 20 more than the Accord V6. That flagship car should have 330-350. Honestly.

It doesn't even look like it should be their flagship car. I hope they don't butcher the TL and TSX too, as they're approaching the time for a redesign...
Honda is expletiveing up.
