mbukukanyau: I know the LS can't even start to compete with the CTS, but people think so and they would cross-shop the two. LS is very outdated too.   eaton53: I wonder how the STS will stack up against the upcoming RL. Rumor has it the RL will have a 300HP V6, a hybrid V6, and maybe an optional V8. Whew, this segment is tough!!! :o

The RL will go up against the Infiniti Q45. Not aganist STS, E Class or 5 series and Jarguar Type S

Wait, what's the difference??? I thought the RL will stay below or around 50K..just like the 5-series and E-Class. The TL competes with the 3-series, CTS, C-Class, etc...so I'm guessing it's only logical that the RL competes with the 5-series, E-Class, STS, etc. Hey, I maybe wrong!!
#352 of 1325 300 hp by eaton53 Feb 23, 2004 (8:25 pm)
Is pretty minimal for this class. Also, the STS will be available with AWD... unusual even for these type of vehicles. And Magnaride.

Drove the first 3.6L CTS as soon as it arrived at my local dealer. I bought an LS Sport. For several reasons. Sounds like competition to me.   I expect that the new STS will be priced substantially higher than the LS.   Cheers, - Ray Viva la competition - improving the breed . . .

300hp minimal for this class?? Sure when put up against the V8s, but I'm talking about the V6 base engine. The STS will only make around 255HP. Plus, to compete with the V8s, Honda is probably going to add a V8 or a hybrid V6 (the latter one is more likely). Plus, it's going to have AWD optional too.

Maybe - Autoweek just clarified that the NSX replacement will probably not be a hybrid, even though they'd hinted it would.   We can't be so sure about the RL.   -juice
#356 of 1325 Well by eaton53 Feb 25, 2004 (4:18 am)
It is going to be compared to the V8's if they don't have one. If they do have a V8 it had better bring more than 300hp.
#357 of 1325 by rctennis3811 Feb 25, 2004 (6:37 am)
True true.. But I doubt anyone these days would make a new car V8 have 300HP.

The new RL will not measure up to the heavy hitters. It will be the only FWD based AWD car in the segment other than the A6. Besides that V8s do count for something in spite of Honda's arrogance. Why do you think they added a V8 to the A6 three years ago? You need the V8 on this level even if your V6 offers a lot of power. Besides, if the RL's engine is like most Honda high powered V6s it is going come up short in torque.
