Looks like a bigger TL with an Audi A8 feel to it. Nice

A little too much of a dead ringer for the new TL from the side and rear, and a little too much VW Passat/Phaeton in the front.

I thought it was normal for companies to release their newest style car in their flagship model, and then work their way down. IE 7 series -> 5 series and so on, or Audi A8 on down.

On the other hand, Honda / Acura releases the TSX(really an Accord), then the TL, and now their flagship RL released recently. Is this just some myth I've fabricated in my head?

cues from the TL but w/ more space. looks good. just needs an optional V8 so the rest of the industry takes it seriously.

yes yes I know most GS and 5 series sold are 6 cyl.

V8 would be a little heavy for the FWD setup no?
