Replying to: nebraskaguy (Sep 22, 2008 6:00 pm)  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.

Replying to: dandg (Sep 24, 2008 3:17 pm) I just got around to looking at my RL brochure. The bottom two models have simulated wood. However, the CMBS model has real wood. I'm not sure I really care either way. |

Replying to: jjacura (Sep 26, 2008 2:34 pm) Yes, I'm going to wait too. 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. |

Wonder what's going on with the 2009 RL. Nobody has any.

I think Acura thinks that there is a subset of potential RL buyers who want the car so much that they will pay full price. They know that there is a larger population of buyers who will buy the cars for, say 3500 to 4500 below msrp. In the past everyone was able to buy for the lower figure, so I believe the current strategy is to cut production back to a trickle in hopes they can hold on price. I see problems with this approach in light of the current economic meltdown and the availability of the TL model in AWD at a much lower msrp. But time will tell. One of the first 09 RL's in my area sold at a $2500 discount from msrp per a salesman I know.

Replying to: vavavavolvo (Oct 11, 2008 8:38 am) The TL Tech I saw a week ago had an MSRP of $40k. Once the AWD is added in, will it really have a "much" lower MSRP than the RL?
