I rcvd a mailer from Acura that showcased the RL - just the day prior I rcvd a mailer with the ZDX. I really do think Acura is trying to keep the RL exclusive and not make it a popular sedan.

Exclusive, or have they just moved on without it? Honda Motor Corporation is a for-profit company. Not sure how they are bringing value to their shareholders if they are intentionally not promoting their products.

It would be great to have your experiences to share since many seem to migrate from Acura to Audi.
While OT, I just read this review on the TL vs the S4, which sports Audi's new rear torque shifting AWD set up. If the TL is this good against a supercharged Audi S edition, can a newer RL have a similar potential?

I guess we will have to see where Smart Luxury takes us. I fear it will be a luxurious, but fuel stingy, and not that fast or sporty sedan.

Well technically I was saying farwell to having an RL, rather than saying goodbye to all the good folks here in this forum. I haven't found a very active Audi A8 forum to hang around in. Mostly I guess A8 owners just lease their cars and not actively talk about them
. So I will loiter around here for a while if thats ok

If I had the budget (and another car to drive) I'd be driving an S8.

Very nice Car, you did good. As for maintenance issues, I have heard that Audi has gotten a lot better over the last few years and addressed what they needed to make better cars . . . . . . I'm sure you will let us know.
