A lot of people actually had problems w/ these cars.
Somewhat underpowered and underwhelming for Acura's top car, IMO.

I mean, it's okay. I think the newer TL is a better car.

i had an 03 and that **** did me good i took trips up and down I-95 and i used it to tow my atvs on the trailer and never gave me any problems. Only reason y i got rid of it was because i crashed it and i didnt feel like payin to fix it so i let my boy take over the payments i owed like $8k on it...& the TL is no way better the RL has more technology in it.

Eh, I just think for your money, the TL is a much better car.

I had one...it was pretty reliable. BUT, I had a Legend previously and it just didn't feel like a step up much....it was kinda boring. Solid, but boring.

i had 3 legends and the RL is a big step up from a legend unless you had the 96 RL,then i could understand u sayin it aint feel like a step up because i like the legend more than the 96-98 style RL's, but the 1.5 Gen. RL (99-05) is a big step from an ac legend.

The new RL's arent mentioned because they are probably the most boring car you can find for $50,000. It looks like a bloated Accord and doesnt stand out from the pack. Acura really needs to re-design that car, nothing about it says "$50k".

No way I'm paying 50k for a V6 fulls-size luxury sedan. It's the only glarinng bad-spot in Honda's lineup. That car is begging for a V8 to truly compare with the LS, 7 Series, A8, and S Class.
Acura RL is a joke. How can your flagship only have a 300HP V6?? Even the G35 that competes with the lower TL has more than 300HP!! To make matters worse, Acura just redesigned the RL and put one hell of a beak on the front.

Thats cuz Honda dont use v-8s, they think v-6's is whats hot in the streets
