I'm bored.

I doubt you are getting 40+ mpg... That's down hill right? hah

Well the TL is a cheaper car too. I may disagree on your reasoning, but I have no doubt the RL or RLX's quality is much better than the TL or TLX.

shred5 Have you seen any car built in America that even remotely can match German or Japanese quality? I might speak for my experience. I have not seen single car. All cars built on American soil has with very law quality: I explain: Bring window down on any American built car and close the door. Listen carefully to the sound it makes. Repeat with German or Japanese cars. (no all of these will be much better, but most will win hands down) Now look inside of the cabin: How plastic parts fit together. I see all these defect right away. Now drive the car with all windows up and no audio of any kind. Most American built cars have various unpleasant noises coming from either poor craftsmanship or law quality of material or both. Now see the gap between metal part on exterior. On American cars these are ~ 20-40% wider than on German cars. I hope you know why. Numbers dont lie. Honda/Toyota/MB/Audi/BMW/Acura (built in Japan) way more popular in large cities. (NY, W DC, LA, San Fran, Boston)

O.S S.O. I've driven everything and I've found many loud ass Japanese and European cars too. You're completely blind if you think they're exempt from being noisy. FYI I've had a Cadillac that was quieter than any Mercedes, BMW or Audi I've ever driven, windows and all. Of course the newer ones seem to all have leaky sunroofs and blow wheel bearings and struts between oil changes too, but my point still stands and is 100% true. Plus, the largest problem with American cars is the cheap ass manufacturers, not where it was made.

O.S S.O. That is not necessarily true. Japanese people take their jobs more seriously and don't slack off, so they are less likely to make a mistake, but it stops there. Just because a car is made in Japan does not mean that it is superior to a car built in USA. It just means that it is less likely to have defects. Here is an example: I have a '95 Toyota Camry (built in Kentucky) that has ZERO squeaks or rattles. It is the complete opposite of my friend's Made-in-Japan '05 G35. In fact, G35's are known for getting all rattle-y after just a couple of years. This has nothing to do with the nationality of the person assembling the car. The G35 has a shitty design and that is why it falls apart after a couple of years. It ultimately depends on the quality of materials the manufacturer chooses to use, and the processes they have set, not on who is the monkey assembling the parts together. The RLX probably has less rattles only because it is a more expensive car, not because it is made in Japan.

I agree with you. I hate when they say just buy a TL. I owned a TL that I traded and got an RLX. If you just get a TL (and that's not a bad option) over this, then your missing out on alot. This car does more and is more refined than a TL. As for the sqeeks, rattles and the lining on the roof peeling off on the TL, I can second that as well. TL still a nice car, RLX is awesome tho.

@Guillermina Levering Are your two channels spamming every channel?

@Fisher Darius go take a shit, look in the toilet and you'll see Liberalism

+vtecnegro85 this is worse than the Impala tho

Cool name

Buy one then

Word

@@acuravision63 I got mine half off, two years old. Don't know what you're talking about. 70k new, paid 39. Check my channel #makehondagreatagain

I own an RLX Advance. There are times that you realize that you're driving a Japanese car that was designed by the Japanese design team, and that it is completely built in Japan. By contrast, the TL and the upcoming TLX are all American cars, designed by Americans and built in America for Americans. I think it's very likely the TLX will be much more popular than the RLX, and I fear the 5G Legend/RLX will never be a big seller in America because most Americans are going to prefer the TLX. I believe that there is content in the RLX that will never be seen in the TLX (like maybe Krell Audio). But when you're comparing a 50K 9 speed TLX Advance against a 61K 6 speed RLX Advance...I'm afraid that too many people will say what Nathan said.

George Knighton Well put! That is a great point. Thats what happened to the previous generation RL/Legend. It got overshined by the TL.

Show pics or make a video we want to see

@@innotafanofanyofjlbjlbissd6777 I might just do that, but I have to confess, finding parts is not easy; especially in you want to do tuning or upgrades. I settled on OEM suspension because money (also crippling back pain). And many things that were planned are either postponed ( spent 4k on parts so far this year) or just not available for my specific model ( think sway bars upgrade, or lighter parts. Right now, I still need to put 2k in the next few months just to be up to date with maintenance. It's never ending. At least highway mileage is excellent if you pace yourself and the P-AWS system makes the car easy to park and maneuver.

The GS isn't at all refined and as quiet as the RLX!

18k??? What model did you get? I’m looking at a 2014 RLX Advance Package at $19k rn

I'm afraid we're not going to see the SH-AWD version generally available until May or so. It's a matter of how they're putting them together in the first place, coupled with a general lack of high quality batteries available for Honda to purchase.

George Knighton And you know this how??????

Haha good point!

Francis Quiles "THAT (while exhaust shot) is the computer". Oh you mean the rev limiter? Sad car reviews.

This particular Acura doesn't compete with anybody, really. Maybe the Cadillac XTS. Maybe the Volvo S80. People leaning toward Mercedes or Audi aren't even looking at this car. The RLX is just a place for Honda people to go when they grow up...or grow old.... Speaking personally. :-)

George Knighton I agree, that my story. I have a TL not only cause I like it, but because Im at a place where I graduated from the accord. lol.
