The 2006 Acura RL will have a Technology Package for the RL. The Technology Package will have: •Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) - uses a grille-mounted radar unit, motorized seatbelt E-pretentioners on the driver’s and front passenger’s seats and an automatic braking system to monitor potential frontal collisions and help reduce the impact on occupants by alerting the driver, tensioning the seatbelts and slowing the vehicle. •Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) – To compensate for changing traffic flow, ACC adjusts vehicle speed automatically by applying throttle and/or brake to maintain a consistent following distance. •Michelin PAX Run-Flat tires - helps provide enhanced safety and security with continuous mobility of up to 125 Finally Acura is giving its flagship sedan more features. The 2006 Lexus GS/IS has all of these features already and is cheaper. This package is optional like on the Lexus and Toyota. Hopefully this helps Acura have better sales. Even the 2005 Toyota Avalon and Sienna have Dynamic Laser Cruise Control already and the Sienna even has run-flats on AWD models. Finally Acura gave it to its RL. But in its catergory, the RL and GS are the only car models that have radar cruise control and pre-collision system available that are known so far. The 2006 Acura RL will be better than the 2005 model.

We're ready to purchase and have decided on the Lakeshore Silver exterior, although it was a difficult choice between the Celestial Silver, Desert Mist and Lakeshore. We have seen it with Ebony interior and like it but always felt that a dark interior would be too warm in the summer. We would like to see the Lakeshore with a taupe interior before purchasing, but none of the 3 dealers within 100 miles has one. Has anyone seen both interiors in the Lakeshore and have an opinion to offer? The black interior has a rich look and we're not sure about the taupe. We had an extended test drive - all weekend - and enjoyed it tremendously! It felt somewhat noisy and a little rough on a bad piece of highway, but otherwise it's wonderful. Our cell phones even paired with no problem. One problem yesterday, we received a message saying there was no keyless detected and we would be unable to restart the car if it was turned off. We drove home, stopped the engine, got out and started all over again. It worked fine. In addition, the radio wouldn't come on. Nothing but "enter code". To make a long story short, we finally found the "code" on a little card in the glove box among all of the manuals, etc, and was able to enter it and the radio was immdiately operable. Has anyone had a similar experience? Not the best experience, but we're still buying! We will, however, memorize the code! Thanks for any assistance with the interior colors. |

Replying to: spinningwheels (Aug 08, 2005 6:39 am) It is all personal opinion, but the fact that dealers don't have this combination might indicate that it is more popular. |
