East Framingham, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/07/2011 -- Tweaked and modified to perfection, the new RL features an eye-pleasing exterior and a fully decked-out interior. Equally impressive under the hood, the new 2011 Acura RL is the newest luxury sedan in the Acura line-up. Boston Acura shoppers are sure to be impressed with everything this vehicle has to offer and as an added bonus, its sure to make all other drivers jealous.
Boston Acura Owners Drive In Style
Boston Acura shoppers will be excited to learn that the 2011 Acura RL is equipped standard with a commanding 3.4-liter V6 engine capable of producing 300 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. With this powerful new engine, the fuel mileage continues to improve from previous generations. The V6 engine gets an EPA estimated 17mpg in the city and 24mpg on the highway.
All new for 2011 is an optional V8 engine that is sure to impress drivers craving a little more oomph. In comparison to the standard V6, the all-new V8 engine boasts increased horsepower and torque. Whichever model you choose, the new RL comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift paddles and super handling all-wheel drive. Acura’s SH-AWD system utilizes “torque vectoring” to any outside rear wheel so that the car’s cornering ability is improved, aiding in better traction and handling. In the new RL, Boston Acura owners can drive with confidence under any road condition, a useful feature all year round.
Thanks to “wheel resonator technology’ built into the 18” 5 spoke aluminum wheels, cabin noise is reduced by up to 15% in the 2011 RL. With the added quiet, drivers and passengers alike can appreciate the peace or enjoy some music on the standard 10-speaker Bose Surround Sound System with XM radio capabilities, a CD player, and an USB/iPod integration system. Every trim also offers standard voice controls. The interior of the RL also boasts an updated appearance including stylish wood trim along the dash and doors as well as new leather trim options to choose from.

maybe they're thinking 2012 Acura RL, in which case 3.4 making 300hp doesn't sound so horrid and a V8 making 500hp would be about right with an 8 speed dual clutch tranny. I mean...do it.

There are 5 spokes... however, each is split into three sections.
Sorry, I'm just searching for something to give them credit for. They didn't give very much and need all the help they can get.

But why would you choose this as an April Fool's joke?
Dealership: HAY GUYS! The Acura RL has a V8 now!
Shopper: Really?
No, just kidding. It's got the same V6 that's been in pretty much every Honda/Acura vehicle made since the late 1990s.
