Acura invites public to view new RL in lounge setting
Toronto, Ontario - Acura is launching their flagship vehicle the 2005 Acura RL with a unique program in city centres in Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver. The program includes a 2005 Acura RL and a lifestyle lounge providing guests an opportunity to experience the elegantly styled interior and the athletic exterior of the Acura RL in a luxurious, modern setting. The program is unique in that it provides consumers with an opportunity to speak one-on-one with Acura representatives and experience the Acura RL in an intimate environment.
"More than a static vehicle display, the product placement program for the 2005 Acura RL is designed to appeal to the target market's lifestyle and evoke an emotional connection with the Acura RL," said Dave Gardner, Acura National Sales Manager. "The RL highlights Acura's focus on developing a truly luxurious sedan and we're pleased to provide consumers with an opportunity to experience our flagship vehicle."

Went down there today with Neochaser...I personally like the car but the "lounge" setting is worse than crap...and those chicks doesn't know what they are about:
Chick: "There's a 'Blue-chip-tooth' in this car..."
Us: "You mean Blue-Tooth"
Chick: "Right"
Chick: "Also the stereo system is 'BOSS'."
Us: "You mean 'BOSE'."
Chick: "...right"
Us: "Is this car DOHC or SOHC?"
Chick: "See? Here's it's SH-AWD (showing us the brochure). It means Super..."
Us: "I mean up there at the engine column. SOHC..."
Chick: "...right..."

Ya, they better soften up the Canadian market with lots of donuts and coffee. They should hope they're sleeping when they get around to that $69,995 price tag.

Well my skill is not as good as Neochaser's but I do manage to take some pics of one of those girls who doesn't know a thing about the cars...
Honestly the only thing they might be good at is at the backseat

I was checking out the RL section of the Acura website, and I want to know why Acura doesn't place some of the software-based features into the other vehicles... such as voice-to-text input and multi-destination trips in the navi. Seems like it wouldn't cost a thing to add to the TSX...
Of course, Acura may not do it just for the sake of leaving such features for the super luxury sedan only. The RL needs some bragging rights...

Using good looking girls to draw people in is so 80's IMO. Like Kanon said, they had no clue what they were talking about, they probly end up hurting more than they help.
And besides that girl, 5 out of 10 at best.
