Default RL A-Spec

Saw a few pics of an A-Spec version of the new RL on vtec.net which were quite different than examples I've seen previous. i.e. More aggressive body work, 20" wheels, 6 or 8 piston calipers, and a beautiful interior (butter color with X patterns on the leather seams - ahhh, you'll just have to see it). The car looked awesome. Fast forward 24 hours and the story is no where to be seen on that particular site.

Did anyone else catch a glimpse?

The article is still there, it just fell off the main page.

VTEC.net - RL A Spec

I have to agree, that car looks great. I willing to bet it will sell quite well.

Thanks! Too bad this is just a concept. Honda needs to produce this bad boy. C'mon Honda, get aggressive!

Ugly stitches?! Man, that interior is clean, distinctive, unique, and beautiful. Guppies, didn't you own an NSX a while ago?

Looks ok...i think that mesh up front looks pretty shitty and the interior, meh, stitching is so so, never liked that even when Audi did it...car certainly looks aggresive though.

Needs more horsepower and a manual transmission (or kick-*** manumatic, a la DSG, SMG) to compete with the M5 and E55.

The grille treatment is attrocious, btu the reast of it looks mean.

I agree, the grille is ugly & I don't like the mesh either. . . it's too *bling* shiny.

I do like the interior though.

I dunno. It looks like they couldn't decide if it was a luxury car or not. I like the TL show car's interior better, and I like the TSX show car's interior the best.


That's the TL A Spec show car's interior.



That's the TSX A Spec show car's interior. I think this one's the best of the bunch.

I like them both, with the exception of those "breathable" seats in the TL. They look akward. . . very 80's.
