#6691 of 7342 Re: Rear Bumper - Paint Chips [jjacura] by delmar1 Aug 19, 2005 (11:31 am)
Replying to: jjacura (Aug 19, 2005 10:58 am) Any time... do a 'google' search under 'plastic bumper repair'.   The one I use here near my home in Del Mar, CA is really really good. My past Infiniti was 'bumped' in the rear while parked and left indentations from the other's license plate. They were able to patch and repaint. Perfectly. I have sent many over...each and every job...clean looking and a fraction of the cost.   It is just great how they can computer match your paint. If you look at the inside of your driver side...there is a paint code. They punch it in.....magic....color matched.

Replying to: jjacura (Aug 19, 2005 10:53 am) Do you have an Acura dealer in your area that you consider reliable?   Yep I've bought 3 Acura's from John Eagle in Houston Great dealership   Still undecided about what I want to do. A major part of the "problem," besides not knowing which sedan to get, is that I do not need a new vehicle at all. I'm merely in the want stage, not the need stage Replies to this message: jjacura (Aug 19, 2005 7:41 pm)
#6693 of 7342 RL with A-SPEC by flyaway123 Aug 19, 2005 (3:22 pm)
1. Does anyone have the specifications page for the Acura RL with A-SPEC? I'd like to know what specific parts are added/upgraded to include any under body parts.   2. Are there any RL w/A-SPEC owners out there? If so, what's your review of the car as a owner?
#6694 of 7342 Ventilated seats by kfhmail Aug 19, 2005 (7:26 pm)
It may just be me, but it is hard to understand WHY Acura does not put the ventilated seats in the RL. I was "almost" sure they would add it for 2006. It appears to me that most all newly designed high end cars have the ventilated seats. Why offer them in Canada but not the US???????????????

Replying to: msu79gt82 (Aug 19, 2005 12:20 pm) I visit my daughter in HOUSTON and coincidently we saw the first 2004 TL there and our first 2005 RL at the same dealership a year later. That would be Gilman. We were there again in June and saw their new dealership on 45 just north of 1960. Looks like auto row through there now.

Replying to: kfhmail (Aug 19, 2005 7:26 pm) Best question I've seen in a while!!! Why Canada and not us? The states had unusually hot weather this summer. Even Wisconsin had far more 90+ days than usual and with high humidity you have to keep the air on. The ventillated seats would have been great this year! (Not to mention it isn't in the plans for 2006 either!!)

Replying to: kfhmail (Aug 19, 2005 7:26 pm) The best explaination I've heard as to the reasons behind ventilated seats in Canada and none offered in USA was that XM Satellite Radio was not licensed to broadcast its signal within Canada. So Americans got XM Radio and Canadians got ventilated seats. I read recently that XM finally was licensed to broadcast its signal in Canada so perhaps Canadians will be able to enjoy XM Radio for 2006. But that still leaves unanswered when Americans will be able to enjoy ventilated seats. Replies to this message: jjacura (Aug 21, 2005 7:27 pm)

Replying to: jsakabuck (Aug 21, 2005 4:22 pm) We've had many discussions on this subject in the past. Maybe our buddie Bodble from Canada is still around and can tell us if the 2006 Canadian RL will come equipped with XM!
#6699 of 7342 and now RL doesn't make 300 horses by ksoman Aug 23, 2005 (6:16 am)
what is the psychological impact of knowing that the new SAE ratings rules required RL horses to be toned down to 290 something? I know the actual power is what it was and what it is which is all the same, but to read 290 instead of 300... what will you think now?   ksso
#6700 of 7342 The psychological impact of hp by msu79gt82 Aug 23, 2005 (7:27 am)
Check out the article linked below from The Detroit News. The article claims that the new test standard will hurt the Asian makes more than the domestic. In fact some domestic models (e.g. Cadillac STS and XLR) had an increse in horsepower. Should prove to be interesting time on car lots next fall.   What will be the response to customers who ask, "Why did the RL have a drop in hp with the new standard but the STS go up?" Or when a shopper asks, "Why did the MDX lose power in '06 but the XLR gain power?"   Good questions, can't wait to hear the answer offered up by sales reps. Some folks WILL wonder why under the new standard some makes (e.g. Toyota, Honda) consistently went DOWN; while other makes (e.g. Ford, GM) had a tendency to go UP. Human nature dictates that these questions and concerns WILL be raised. One can easily conclude that certain makes appear to have exaggerated hp under the old/previous "standard" and they will have to deal with it.   http://www.detnews.com/2005/autosinsider/0508/17/A01-283759.htm
