I just picked up my Celestial Silver with Ebony and feel that its a great combination. I prefer it over the Taupe because it seems like the match is perfect with the darks and silvers, both inside and outside. I just didnt have the same feeling of cohesiveness with the Taupe.
It's a personal preference, so one person could like it one way, another an entire 180! Good luck.

Thank you. I have seen the Celestial Silver with Ebony and it is striking. The black has an elegant look. It would be the first choice, but it seems as if 9 out of 10 cars here are silver. I thought the Lakeshore would be a little different exterior.
Ebony looks excellent with it, too, but my wife thinks Taupe might be good, also.
It's some car! I don't know whether I like the car -- engine, SHawd, etc., or the toys more --navigation, XM or bluetooth. Great package!

Im very disappointed that they are packaging Run Flats with ACC and CMBS; I do not want run flats. While ACC and CMBS are somewhat useful, I have it on my FX35, they are not must have options for me. In any event based on what these options cost on other cars (e.g. M-series) Acura can't charge more than $2000 for the whole package. Even at that I'd have to pass due to the Run Flats.

We did the entire 180.... celestial silver with taupe. You are right about personal preference...I'm the one pushing headstrong for the car and my wife was the one who really liked the taupe with the silver. She loved our saddle interior on the TL so I knew ebony would be a tough sell. Actually the black exterior was our 2nd choice and with black we would have ordered ebony for sure. (For our tastes taupe blends extremely well with the celestial siver.)

I own a lakeshore + taupe combination. I personally prefer the lighter colored interiors in the RL. The taupe interior blends very well with the wood trim, and lighter colors have an elegance that I don't see in black.
It is all personal opinion, but the fact that dealers don't have this combination might indicate that it is more popular.

Acura RL Turning radius 3 feet wider than the others?
by birdbird

In the consumer guide magazine that came out didn't they knock the Acura RL for having a three foot more on its turning radius than some of the other luxury sedans they included. That seems like a lot. I am thinking about buying one and would appreciate input on whether that is something to consider. I drive a lot around town and make a lot U-turns!
I also thought it was strange that they placed the Acura TL in the same test category as the RL? Does that make sense to anyone and so why not just buy the TL at 15,000 less if they rate it number 2 behind Infinity? Sounds like TL is the care maybe to get instead of RL if you read their report.

Acura RL low beam lights?

Also in the magazine they mentioned the lights weren't as good as some of the others. I can't recall exactly, but something like you couldn't see objects in the road at night very well.
Anybody out there with a 2005 RL that can comment on night driving and if the lights are good or what?

Thank you, jjacura and formula, for your help.
Formula, you may have a point about the taupe being more popular since we don't see any of it. Black interiors seem to be plentiful.

jjacura: Yes, I was serious about an RL V-8 coming several years down the road. Saw it in a note in the current issue of Motor Trend. Also, in the current issue of Automotive News, a Honda official strongly suggests that they may be working on a V-8.
