New to forum - Just picked an RL!!!!
After owning a prelude SH....I'm back with the SH Family 
I currently own a 94 supra TT and recently upgraded to single turbo so decided to get DD
Always loved RL's and Legends and when they 05 came out I was like wow. So when I finally decided to get a sedan first thing popped in my head was the RL.
I got lucky finding the exact color and year. White 2008 RL with 12k miles for 32k plus tax.
Dont have pix yet but will post them soon

I used to own a Prelude SH too! I bought mine brand new in San Diego in 1999! A pearl white SH model. I loved that car! sold it when I had kids / bought a house / etc... (i had modded that car a fair amount with Konis/springs/AEM intake/sway bars... not the fastest car in teh world, but boy did it handle great for a FWD car!
if you thought ATTS was a great handling system - you'll love the RL. since you had the Prelude, you're already familiar with how to drive the car... it's counterintuitive...but trying to go FASTER in the turns actually makes the car handle better.. but you already know that.
the RL is nowhere near as light as the Prelude, but it will blow you away what a 4000lb luxury sedan can do in the corners.
Congrats on getting a white one - those are hard to find and they look great! if you found one with the black leather you found a RARE one... that was first choice for me, but so few of that color were made...they were tough to find.
good choice with the RL - great DD. post up some pics of that Supra too!

Thanks for the welcome guys. Here are pix I got from the dealer. Dont have my own pix yet but just a taste. Car is white with tan interior. I wish it were black but this color is nice as well. Plus my wife doesnt like black so it all worked out well.

Personally, I love the white/tan combo much better than white/black.
Great-looking example. Congrats!
