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.

The grill has GOT to go.

 

ugly. Looks like an accord is wearing slutty bumpers.

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

Anywho...

That grill is nastay.

 

that's pretty ugly.

What's with the sudden influx of chrome on ****?

 

Minus the Saturn grille, its not bad

 

Looks like an 07 Accord had sexor with an 03 Altima and this was the end result

 

I like the current model, what the hell did they do to the 2009?

 

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.

 

Its pretty........... pretty ugly.

Heres a better picture.

they should have kept it the same, possibly better wheels and upped the power a bit

my bad. I have a friend who had a 2001 and I thought he said his was the last of that design.

+1

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.

 

Transformers

 

what a waste of AWD SH technology. bring back the prelude! lol

 

I think I'd rather have this than the old 3.2RLs Those looked like Oldsmobiles

 

THEY'VE KILLED IT!!!

 

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.

 

Ooohhhh, seat coolers. Wish my Integra had 'em.

 

The grill looks like it came off of an RDX...

 

Even though the current RL sells about as much as an Ice dealer in alaska....

I'd take one over that 09 anyday.

 

DO NOT WANT.

Lexus &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Acura.

 

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.
