Right, but BMW at least gave you the option to get power seats. I'd be perfectly willing to pay extra for a power passenger seat in the RDX, but you can't get one at any price. I'd be willing to pay for something like a dual 12-way seat package in the RL, but you can't get that either. To me that's not value, its restrictive.

To me power seats of any level are a bare minimum for a luxury car. Same with power windows. Those things should not even be an option. Now, increasing the range of the power seat is different to me. So, I agree with you that it's unacceptable for the RDX to have a manual adjust passenger seat. If it costs a few hundred dollars more so what? It's already about a $35K car.
 
Now, lg, you know darn well that even if the RL was offered with an option to get dual 12 way power seats you still wouldn't get it. It's an Acura!

LG has long been an Acura hater.
 
I feel the same way about Lexus cars in general, the lineup just makes 0 sense to me.
 
Same with Mercedes [sans S class] I just don't get em, and their ergonomics are a train wreck.

Well I meant that if I was going to buy an RL, I'd be willing to get some kind of sport seat package. Something like the Recaros in the S4 would be lovely. Then it just needs a new platform with a V8 behind the front wheels, and a new interior, and I'd buy one tomorrow.

I agree with you on the Acura seats. It is really dumb for any up scale mfg. to have a passenger seat that is not fully adjustable.
 
Whenever I test drive cars and my wife is with me, the second she sees that the passenger seat is not fully adjustable it is a deal killer. Aren't these mfgs smart enough to know how much the wife influences these purchases?

How nice! The engine is a wonder, and the re-styling adds appeal. My mouth is watering

OMG -- the picture (side/profile) on page one looks like the fraternal twin of the 2005 A6.
 
The head on pictures now look slightly less like a Pontiac, but still the "Pontiac-popularized" slant eyed look remains.
 
The Audi trout mouth is an acquired taste, to be sure; but, the BMW 5 still (to my eye, and for all I know, my eye alone) is, er, butt oogly.
 
They are great driving machines, however, and one would think that is what must be the deciding factor. On the other hand, it is written, somewhere, by somebody, that STYLE sells.
 
Hats off, averted eyes and bowed in reverence head -- BMW rules.
 
I like the looks of the 3, X3 and X5 much better than this thing.
 
To each his/her own.
 
Love the write up about the engine though -- wonder what Audi and Mercedes will respond with. The 255HP Audi and even the Mercedes 6, are outclassed by the twin-turbo Bimmer's motivator.
 
Eyes still averted.
