Hopefully I can make it 169. The 2.5 RL is my "dream car"

hard to compare as competitors generally have V8 models. I think it's doing quite well for a V6 only model in this price range with such crappy fuel ratings...

Comparison #s

5 series 4,212 +85.6
E class 4,203 +4%
DTS 1,512 +147.5%
M 1,178 +44.2%
A5 594 +17.2%
MKS 568 -52%
GS 349 -28.5%
RL 168 +28.2%

The 2011 was only recently made available, I think (my local dealership had none for the 1st 2 months of the year & then Acura sent me an email saying the 2011 RL was now available & voila - they now show 1 in the inventory). Sales #s may also be affected by how many Acura bothered to make ...

I do believe that the higher MPG #s on the sticker will helps sales - more so than the quieter tires ...
