The exterior is so plain jane, I like everything else about the car though. The outside gives it that "just another acura" to me though

I like those a lot!

Everytime I see one on the road I just stare at it. It's like the new 545 BMW that my mom has. So clean and simple with lots to offer.

I've always liked the RL, but I see it as an M competitor. And the TL is a G competitor. I completely disagree with those who dislike it's looks, I love it.

Anyone seen it dropped with some nice rims? All I can say is ughghghgh

Looks very good, has modern looking interior. But the car is too heavy for a 3.5L sedan, and AWD seems unnecessary in where I live, Southern California.

No argument there, but thanks for stating the obvious for the n00bs.

Yep maybe a little expensive for their typical customer base. I don't know for sure but I think MSRP is close to 50K.

The RL is kind of slow too for having 300 HP. The AWD is pretty slick though. It's really aimed for handling, not all-weather traction, so it shouldn't matter where you live.

Dog slow. Looks like a fancy Accord. Great interior. FWD-based AWD FTL.

It's still over priced that's over 7K difference over the entry price and your are getting the same engine/drivetrain... M35 or M45 would be a better buy but fuel enconomy isn't as good as the RL.

Wher I used to work I drove them on a daily basis and I love the cars they have plenty of power and handle great! But there is no way in hell I would ever spend that much on a Honda!
