Better Warranty in the '06RL v. the '05RL
O.k. why did Acura move to a 70,000 mile warranty on the powertrain on the '06's? Is something lurking (a manufacturing defect) in my '05 that will blow-up between 50K and 70K?

No!

It had nothing to do w/Ur vehicle.
It's just another Honda/Acura feature......

I think their #1 reason for doing it is because the 2G TL had so many tranny problems that people are becoming aware of now - so they are trying to make the customers feel better about still buying Hondas.

...to keep up with Lexus and other luxury car manufacturers. Now they closely resemble each other.

Yup, for the tranny issues on the MDX/TL/CL. Same reason Subaru offers such a long rust warranty... they were known to rust.
