| As the current owner of a 1994 Legend Coupe LS, 6 speed, take my feedback for what it is worth. The new Acura RL is an improvement, particularly over the Buick-like RL which preceded it, but it is does not inspire passion nor does it give you something that is built and engineered to a higher standard. Acura appears to have fallen victim to accountants and cost cutting. When Hyundai really gets on their game - the new Genesis is a fine vehicle for its price - Acura, Lexus, Toyota and Buick will be in deep trouble. I also feel obligated to comment on the "beak" that Acura has adopted as a front end styling cue. If that is the best that Acura can do, then I will never own another. | |

Been comparing the RL with the E350 and the GS (I ruled out the BMW due to idrive) and went to test drive a RL.Seemed like a nice car a bit more road noise then the GS I thought and lacking a few things (multi position heated seats) but still a real possibility.After check the interior of the E350 and finding many to be vinyl( MB-Tex) I wanted to be sure the RL had real all leather.I called and aske Acura and it does,however when asking what "Simulated curly maple wood-grained trim" is. Its not wood !!! Wow. The RL does offer quite a bit for the money but one would think real wood would be a given.

Replying to: dandg (Sep 22, 2008 6:35 am) I'm not sure I understand correctly what you wrote, but my interpretation is that you're saying the RL does not have multi-position heated seats. If that's what you said, it's not correct. The RL does have multi-position heated and cooled seats.

Replying to: dandg (Sep 22, 2008 6:35 am) Have you considered Infiniti M, Jag XF, or Audi A6? If you like the drive of E350...you might want to wait till Jan/Feb when revamped model hits... and you probably will be able to get #350 with leather around 40K...my guess. |

Replying to: billyperks2 (Sep 23, 2008 7:37 am) 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. |
