For 2003, the Acura 3.5 RL luxury sedan receives a number of subtle refinements that highlight and enhance the car's already unparalleled level of craftsmanship, making Acura's flagship even more luxurious and sophisticated.

"The enhancements we've made to this year's RL are subtle, yet important," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president, auto sales. "Last year, we boosted performance by increasing horsepower and retuning the suspension, while this year we're making the RL even more refined, which is crucial to our high-end customers."

The handsome exterior of the RL, with a long, sloping front hood and short rear deck, reflects Acura's attention to detail and craftsmanship. For 2003, the RL is available in three new colors - Carbon Gray Pearl, Polar Blue Metallic, and Champagne Mist Pearl, and features redesigned, alloy wheels and a new taillight design with a clear turn signal lens.

Inside, the RL's elegant cabin environment boasts abundant interior room and hand-selected leather-trimmed 8-way adjustable front seats. Both the instrument panel and the standard Acura Navigation System are trimmed in premium burled camphor wood. For 2003, the RL receives a new interior color, Slate, and three new wood trim colors: Auburn Camphor, Golden Camphor and Black Camphor.
