Thinking of buying a 07-08 RL. What are the differences between the two model years? Transmission, engine, etc. Thanks!!

 

Try this link. It is generally accurate.

For more detailed analysis, you need to go to the Acura Media Newsroom

Using the archived year entries, you need to compare the different technical releases of each year.

Thanks! That answered my question.

 

Aside from the different color names & slightly higher MSRP, the two years look to be pretty much identical right?

 

Yes that is correct. There may be minor differences such as the use of real wood vs fake wood. At some point, the real wood was only available in the ACC/CMBS models, whereas in 2005, they all had real wood, at least on the front dash. I think the doors were always plastic wood.

 

Yep all trims & model years had plastic wood doors. I always thought that all '05 & '06 dashes were real wood & '07-'08 Tech's & ACC/CMBS's were real wood as well. As for '09's & up, only the ACC/CMBS trims had the real wood dash.

Correct me if I am wrong though.

 

Something along those lines. You may be able to trace it through the Tech releases for each year, but I recall it may also have been only traceable by comparing the acura.com websites for each year, or the brochures, neither of which are readily available. Not something I want to do now....
