Foreal the RL/RLX is truly slept on

The RLX actually stands out on the road, believe it or not. But I agree with you that Acura should have debuted this version before the FWD one, but with the right marketing and advertising campaign, especially with the SuperBowl coming up, they can change the perception. And there are plenty of folks who buy car regardless of dynamic styling. Lexus has been doing it for decades as has Honda/Acura. And, no, Lexus' current attempts at "dynamic styling" aren't successful. The GS is possibly the MOST anonymous and bland looking car in the segment.

they've made more than that. you can ever order one hybrid. I have the older RL and I'm ordering a new RLX sport hybrid

It's new for Acura I think ..

+Arya Pradhana Darmaputra Yes it is, but the buttons are very inconveniently located down on the center console.

4.8 specs to about 6 sec is think?

I agree, the style will also look good in 10-15 years. Just like the 05 RL, I see them on the road now than then. And when i see them they still look good, small but good.

Lemaj420 This is so true acuras from 10 years ago look good today as well.

+Lemaj420 hey I have an 05 RL. super clean people think it's a 13 or so

Definitely agree with you that Acura continues to disappoint with the stance and wheel/tire combinations of it's cars- ...two relatively easy issues which would instantly improve the visual impression of their cars. For whatever reason, they seem to never get around to addressing this.

lol. buddy that sound is nothing to write home about

Listen to that sound of that supercharged v8 :)

Just like alot of the RL, slept on.

It's coming to Europe as the Honda Legend, but you are not getting the front wheel drive model.

nigmosh65 good to know- thanks, but i wouldn't be surprised if it would still be cheaper to import it from the states, especially if the dollar keeps falling, here in Bulgaria you can save over $10,000 after shipping costs and duty on a new infiniti by importing it from the US. We are getting majorly ripped off in Europe.

seriously, different wheels would do this car wonders

Pretty sure they're bringing back the NSX.

Thats why they made it an option, since 2005 it was standard. One thing Honda/Acura does is listen to their consumers. People complain in the hotter regions that they didnt need the SH-AWD. So they brought out the front wheel drive RLX for those reasons. They also did the same for the first time on MDX (a front wheel for those who do not want to pay for SH-AWD for what ever reason). Thats the point. Aslo SH-AWD isnt just for snow, the torque vectoring helps with performance on dry road as well.

That's a load of rubbish. Because one thing customers have been telling them for ages is they hate that stupid beak they stick in front of their cars and yet they refuse to get rid of it as if it's the coolest thing in the world. They also don't listen when people wanted the dual exhaust ports in the rear and didn't listen when people wanted a manual transmission but rather they ended up eliminating it altogether from the only model that had it, the ILX. Acura is the one luxury brand that severely ignores their customers and does whatever the hell is convenient for them.

Also, it's not about it being optional or standard. It's about me having to stomach the premium that comes with a hybrid just to have the peace of mind of AWD. If I do a lot of highway driving, the hybrid powertrain is useless as it benefits from stop and go traffic.

Ok, thats your opinion on their consumer pleasing. Well you said you dont see the point. That is exactly why they made a front wheel only. For the people who find awd useless, so they made it an option instead of being standard. And they did it because thats what consumers asked. They are not going to change everything. And alot dont like the beak and alot does. Their still selling.

And I agree with the exaust. This hidden thing just started for 2014. I dont think they will keep it on all their cars.
