RLX Sightings
With the exception of people who have bought a new RLX, has anyone seen one on the road yet?

I doubt if I'll ever see any near Oakland or Berkeley.

Really funny, I actually saw my customer on the road the other day. I gave her a quick phone call to tell her "hi" and check on how she was coming along with the new car.

I haven't seen a single one since the Cleveland Auto Show.
Oddly, I have seen three ILXs in the last 24 hours, though. They appear to be selling like hotcakes here in Cleveland.

None on the road yet, besides the one I test drove recently. Although my dealer has one that is a sold unit.

They are not released here in Canada yet so I haven't seen any either, heck, never even seen the car in the flesh yet I will say this, where I live, seeing an Acura is extremely rare (except for the MDX which I think there is 5 or 6) so if I ever bought an RLX, I would be given the keys to the city due to the exclusive car I would be driving *lol*
I will say this, I am really eager to see the RLX in person though.....

I would love to see the RLX in person and then decide for myself how I like the exterior styling! ;-)

I've seen several, but then Acuras seem to be quite popular here.

I still have not seen one and I commute close to an hour each way
Today had extended lunch in SF outside on the Embarcadero. I'd say several 1000 cars drove by. Not 1 RLX. Hard to believe

To be honest, the fact that the RLX likely won't sell in big numbers is a positive factor in my choice to buy one. I'd rather drive a car that you don't see on every street corner even if that exclusivity is not necessarily planned or desired by the manufacturer.
To stay on topic, I don't think the RLX has even been delivered to dealers in Canada yet and so, no sightings to report.

Another nada from the NYC area. But I have seen 2 Karma Fiskers, 1 Tesla (I think), and 2 Mazda6s. Either the RLX is a rare car or there's a cloaking device for the top level trim.

There are 5 Tesla S's that I see in my neighborhood alone

Finally
Just saw my 1st 1 in the wild. It was in passing so I could only tell that it was black.
I suspect that I know who it belongs to: there is a guy that works in another department that had a 2005 RL which he traded for a 2009 RL. I was wondering if he was going to get a 2014 RLX ... since this 1 came from the direction of his job I think that it is him.

I was waiting at a stop sign & for a car to pull out of a driveway; I did not take note of what the car was but as soon as it turned towards me I immediately noticed the jewel eye headlights. Someone down the street from me bought an RLX - Gilded Pewter color.
All 3 dealerships in my area have actually been selling them (1 of them has only 1 left). I am pleasantly surprised as I thought it would be more like the ZDX or 2009 RL which sat on the lots for months.

However, I will say that they RLX is pretty bland from the side - but I think that most cars are, especially when in motion and you cannot see the rims. It is usually the grille & front/rear lights that catch my eye.

I also agree....all Acura vehicles look good in white. I cannot see myself buying any other color on any vehicles....White is the shits!

Honestly; I didnt know it was the RLX.
He was behind then took the middle lane to over take me to come to the red light.(pictured above)
I sat behind it a good minute before realizing what it was.
I quickly grabbed the DLSR in the passenger seat and just started snapping away.
Bland from the back,as it took me a minute to figure it out.
as the light went green, I took the middle lane and gassed it a little, so now that I'm in front one lane over from him.
this is where I stuck the cam out the window and clicked.
ITS GORGEOUS from the front! I love it!
the picture where he's in the middle lane; shows off the beautiful head light housing. I love the angles.

I wish they made this car in blue.

Aren't cars within the same brand supposed to resemble each other? Don't the BMW 3, 5, 7 series resemble?

Saw a CBP RLX leaving my subdivision this evening. Very nice looking car. Not a car for the "look at me" crowd, but it was very attractive in a subtle and conservative way.

Yeah, the white RLX is nice looking!
I personally would like the RLX to be less bland and less conservative looking. However, I can see why some folks would love its looks....
