This fall, the 2006 Acura RL will be equipped with Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) + E-Pretensioners, the world's most advanced system for accident avoidance. CMBS uses millimeter wave radar to detect a collision before it happens and alerts the driver with audible and visual signals and by pre-tensioning of the seatbelt. If an accident appears unavoidable, the system applies braking force to reduce the severity of the collision.

Let's see if they bring the night vision and the radar cruise control

 

Thats pretty cool technology. I hope its only active at higher speeds because I'd hate to be strangled by my seatbelt when pulling up to a car while parking....tee hee

 

wow nice! where did you get the info... wonder how it works

 

nevermind, found it

Hmm...very interesting. Honda is really trying hard to bank its reputation on providing ever increasing safety in all of its cars.

 

Thanks. Bitium and cTLgo for the info and link.

 

I still want those A/C'd seats! Count me in for a 2006 RL

 

 

Why announce upgrades to the RL within 60 days of the release of the brand new 05 RL?
it takes attention away from the current model, not good marketing IMO.

 

most buyers in the market probably never go to Hondanews, and don't know about upcoming features and with the car selling so well, I don't think it will really hurt them

 

That and Honda/Acura cant build enough of them to keep up with demand.

 

that feature sounds really good...
