IIRC it is a JDM feature, but not a US feature.

Given enough money, you could order the parts from Japan.

If you align the car just right as you go down the narrow street to park you should be able to push them back by clipping the other parked cars mirrors. Of course, you will have to open them manually though!

^^^You know, I would have thought that RL owners would be a bunch of grown, and educated guys. You and that other guy in the other thread just proved me wrong. There's nothing funny about your post. Grow up!

I'm sorry - I never expected you to try it.

I think that poster was just having a little good natured fun. I know I got a laugh out of his post. He did not mean any harm.

It was just a question, you can get a Saturn with power folding mirrors and it 20k less $$ so I just though it might have them, its not gonna stop me from buying one it was just a question!

Yeah, but the OP was asking for some credible info. Leave such unfunny stuff in the Rumblings section!

You have 3 posts on the RL Board & they are all telling every one what to do. That is not cool. Why not offer some useful info.

I think this is one of those features that Acuras just don't tend to have. What I've found is that there are some gizmos that particular manufacturers don't seem to have in most of their vehicles regardless of costs. As an example, backup cameras are rare on BMWs. So, you could pay $45,000 for a BMW X3 or similar $ for a BMW 3-series sportwagon and not get a feature that is available in a $22,000 CRV.

On the TL board, there is a debate about ventilated seats - available on a $25,000 Lincoln, the Nissan Maxima, and several GM sedans, but not available on a $40,000 TL 3.7. In fact, until recently, not available on any Acura sold in the US.

And, not to belabor the point with regard to db22's post - but he was having a little good natured fun. Funny posts like that help make the board a pleasent place to visit and have no ill intent whatsoever. So, please, let's try not to take ourselves so seriously and give credit to a guy who apparently has sense of humor.

Anyway, I think you'll find that the guys on this forum know more about the RL than any group of drivers on the planet (Yeah, I know that is an extreme statement). So, this is great place to get questions like that answered.
