2012 Options?

Wondering what options were offered for the 2012 versus what was standard equipment.


Backup camera? Parking sensors? Mudguards? Decklid/trunk spoiler?


I assume this also may vary somewhat depending on whether the car is ACC/CMBS equipped or not?

Thanks that's helpful, but it seems Canada must have got a few "extras" - the 2011 and 2012's here have heated rear seats as well, and that doesn't seem to be showing on the linked page from US acura.com


Was a decklid/trunk spoiler offered?

Canadian versions also got headlamp washers

Perfect, that's awesome! Looks like we got screwed on Bluetooth audio for the stereo though, I see no mention of that with the audio/entertainment specs. I believe the US cars did offer this?

My 2012 RL Tech has Bluetooth Audio/Phone. I stream Pandora Bluetooth, but on log trips I connect via the USB cord. I would be very surprised if the Canadian models differed.

Less than 1500 total 2011 and 2012 RL's were sold in the US between CY 2011 and 2012. So I would think Canadian numbers might even be lower. Among the rarest of cars.

I remember seeing something that for 2011 RLs some ridiculously small number of something like 55 cars were sold in Canada

Yup
Ordered mine off of E-bay (wrong color) for cheap and had it painted.

Is that the actual OEM spoiler design? They went a bit more aggressive with it than the one I have for my 06

Nice, and those are decent prices too, other than the pretty rotten US to Canadian dollar exchange these days LOL
