Granted, Motorweek is typically very kind in most of it's reviews. I have found them less critical than most auto reviews.

It is a very light take on the 09 RL, not a full review. In fact it really leaves opinions out an focuses on new features and enhancements (very acurrately) for the 09 MY. The most opinionated statement was the 'edgy' styling and 'blunt' nose with Acura's signature shield grille.

No mention of the slow sales, or competitor models.

Perhaps it was just the lighting, but it appears to me that the dash center stack is less silver finish and more of a light bronze?


MotorWeek is usually on SPEED channel and PBS.
