I just got the 4.62 disk today so I can find out if anyone knows an MDX command that isn't currently in the RL.

Let me know how it works, mine is scheduled for delivery on Monday! I guess you just pop it in...

I had to do buy it since they upgraded areas I visit on a regulary basis, the wilds of Virginia--Lynchburg and Danville!

I can't tell you yet because I can't install it. I woke up this morning and my daughter already "stole" the car for the day. She won't be home until tonight.

So, my 16 year old daughter is driving around in my $50k RL and I'm driving a 2004 Sienna minivan today

What we put up with from our kids

My wife likes to steal the RL from me and stick me with the big-a$$ SUV.

At least in your respective cases (mikey and hawk), your family members 'steal RL temporarily'. For me, the wife pretty much has warranted exclusive rights to it! The only time i get to drive it is when it needs to be washed or taken to the dealer for servicing

I solved that problem by buying my spouse a car she wanted. No more RL hogging!

I tried that Bob. I offered to buy my daughter her own car. She wanted an RL. I said no. She said, that's ok then, I'll just share yours with you Can't believe she turned down having here own car. Not sure if she's stupid or smart.

My , Get the RL!

A few months back, I was deciding between a CPO RL or a '07 TL Type S. I have always been fond of the TL but after I drove the RL, I kept thinking about it. It is a car that has a captivating quality that is hard to explain. I fell in love with the interior. My biggest problem was deciding if I was ready to give up driving a manual for SH-AWD.

I ultimately decided to buy a TL though, as I found a great deal on a NBP/Ebony/6spd/Nav without one rattle. Yes there are many differences between the two, with the RL being more refined and better built along with a few more features. I just couldn't pass on the 6spd. Most of the RL owners have compared the auto TL to the RL, which there really is no comparison. The 6spd TL vs. the RL is a different and not really fair comparison IMO. Again, if you are an auto driver, I would get the RL.

You will get the best advice here from these guys on the RL forum. I always visit here before the TL forum as the atmosphere is better and I think you just get an unbiased answer to questions.

I wish you the best.

True. This is the first car that is mine that my wife has truly loved. I had a Vigor and then a TL. Before the RL she was wanting me to get the Lexus GS, but we all fell in love initially with the interior of the RL.

Now whenever she gets in to drive the car, she immediately says.... "I LOOOOVE THIS CAR!". Like clockwork.

I'm glad that I"m not the only one with that problem. My 16 year old daughter wanted to take my RL to school today. Couldn't understand why I said no! No one wants to drive the TL unless they "have to"!

Funny...they used to fight over my wifes car. Now it's my turn.
