#105 of 138 Re: RL Simulated curly maple wood grained trim [billyperks2] by nebraskaguy Sep 23, 2008 (12:19 pm)
Replying to: billyperks2 (Sep 23, 2008 7:37 am) Doesn't the RL have real wood?   I assumed it did since the RL always has had real wood. However, the RL page on Acura does not say it's real wood which is suspicious.

Replying to: billyperks2 (Sep 23, 2008 7:37 am) The RL does not have real wood its "simulated" (plastic).I called Acura when I read the "simulated curly maple wood grain trim" in the brochure.One other thing I found out was the only only leather was on the seat bottom and back,the edges are "leatherette" (vinyl) Very dissapointing as I really liked the look inside and out but think I may have to try some others makers.The GS does have real leather and wood,the MB has real wood but same thing with the leather only inserts (and only with option),otherwise its vinyl ("MB-Tex")   The M does look nice,will have to se about that as well.

Replying to: dandg (Sep 24, 2008 3:17 pm) The RL is available in 3 configurations. The base option does have "simulated" wood, but the other 2 packages both have real wood as follows:   Technology Package - "Upgraded genuine wood interior trim"   CMBS/ACC package - "Genuine curly maple wood trim" Replies to this message: dandg (Sep 25, 2008 3:49 am) billyperks2 (Sep 25, 2008 12:31 pm)

This has happened to two of my cars including one I currently own. Interestingly, the passenger seat looks fine, but nobody usually sits in it.

Replying to: jwacura3 (Sep 24, 2008 4:38 pm) I believe you-I know for sure the TL has the fake wood.

Replying to: vavavavolvo (Sep 25, 2008 9:11 am) Clarification on my previous post....I am referring to other cars in regard to the leather showing cracks and aging, not an RL. I have no experience with an aging RL.

Replying to: nebraskaguy (Sep 22, 2008 6:00 pm) My nephew lives and works in Charlotte and I know what you were going through. Interesting that today we are in Arizona where he used to live and work. Plenty of gas here in Mesa and $3.30 per gallon we are enjoying it (My rental is a Mazda 6 and I'm burning regular.) I miss the comfort of the RL.though. We have 2 years to wait for the major changes that will come on the 2011 RL. I'm going to wait. Replies to this message: nebraskaguy (Oct 03, 2008 6:48 am)

The bottom two models have simulated wood. However, the CMBS model has real wood. I'm not sure I really care either way.

I was at my dealership last night for a roll-out party for the new TL. A salesman was talking about the 11 RL. It sounds like it will be a totally different car. It will be interesting to see what they do to it. Btw, the 09 TL is a gorgeous car!! Especially the Tech version.
