The RL is the perfect example of everything that is wrong with Acura. How do they expect to even remotely compete with the Germans, let alone their cross town rivals Lexus and Infiniti, with a V6? Sorry, but this no V8 business for the sake of global warming is completely ridiculous and false economy. Maybe some of you are taking your knowledge of the mid-sized car market and applying it to the luxury one - One where V8 and RWD are standard fair. Acura is doing it for the sake of being different? So they like being laughed at by every Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz engineer in Germany? As for their mid-size entrant, yet again Honda comes in with a FWD, V6 torque steering monster. Very smart
