Acura RL "Trading Card" promotional material

I was just getting my oil changed this morning, and as I was walking around the showroom I saw some specially packaged sales material for the '09 RL.

For lack of a better term I'll call them "trading cards". There were about 8-10 of them and they were on Heavy, glossy card stock, about 12" x 5"(wider than tall) and came in a semi transparent sleave. On one side was a picture (Interior front, entire interior, rear 3/4 view, SH-AWD diagram, straight down from top view, straight on side view, and color squares and interior swatches. On the other side was some small print describing what was on the other side.

Not one view of the front.

What a surprise

I got that in the mail a couple of months ago. I think Bob said they were handing those out at the auto shows as well. The lack of a front view shot was comical.

Indeed, they were being handed out at car shows. A reminder of what they look like:

I wonder when I go to buy my '09 RDX in a week or so if the dealer will try to give me a deal I can't refuse on the '09 RL? I will have to tell him thanks, but no thanks.

Interesting, the view from above showing the CMBS function is the old RL.

Tsk tsk

No, it's the new one. Notice how the grille is a bit different.
