I like the Automatic Hold. After driving to a stop, let off the brake, the "vehicle remains motionless"

The Controller is also a nice touch. Maybe something similar for Acura's next Navi system?

Wow, they finally put some lines to that car. Looks like a bigger M5, which I like!! The new RL will be a 5 series contender, I don't know that Acura will ever compete with the 7 series, not anytime soon anyway....

I like how the title of the page is "PAINT CHIP REPAIR"... WTF?

They definitely have added some cool tech toys to that thing. The knob that has a different tactile response depending on the menu you're on is pretty cool.

Acura take notes? Uhm, the 7series car is like +15K more expenseive.....and that's even the lowest trim level. The highest w/o protection package is 90K.

Bah, Acura should takes notes for their RL.
And hand down some improvements to the CL/TL as well.

They SHOULD take note.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I am overall unimpressed with the new 740. I thought they would have a better interior than that. The gauges are a bit updated but still look outdated. The a/c controls look the same. The outside looks nice, but the front end doesnt look elegant/nice/mean. It just looks sad. I like the rest of the exterior and I'm sure it will be nicer when I see it in person. But from those pics... very unimpressed.

The trunk lid part is kinda awkward

Acura take notes ... on the innovative features. Sorry if my comments were vague. I am merely hoping Acura would incorporate similar features in their future cars. I never mentioned Acura should compete with a 7 series. A 5 series possibly (as juniorbean mentioned). Leave the 7 series up to Mercedes and such.

I guess my post should have been "If you were a design engineer for Acura, what would you do next?"

I'm a fan of ALL auto manufactures. I respect a person in a Kia as much as a Porsche. I did my homework and the Acura CLS was the best car for me. People here get so testy over BMWs. But, they are usually a (short) step ahead of other manufactures with new ideas.

I agree with you Bluto. Upto this point Acura has been pretty good with adding goodies that usually aren't available in the same class. I think that they are trying to appeal to sensible buyer and the new RL should be real nice. Afterall, the new NSX is supposed to have a V8 and like 350hp+ It will be interesting.

I like it alot, I can't imagine how many techno goodies are going to be in that car (I read 20' inch wheels will be optional, we'll see)...hell, even the current dated 7 series has a ton of features (my oldman had a 97 740i)- was really ahead of its time when it came out in 95.
