Owner Opinions Needed by Autoweek
Owners, please respond to Autoweeks request for the RL Autofile article.
Hey guys,
I'm Jon Wong from Autoweek magazine. An avid Honda/Acura enthusiast btw. In an upcoming issue we are doing an autofile artile on the new 2005 Acura RL. However, we need a little owner feedback on the car.
So 2005 Acura RL owners please send your name, good/bad comments on the car and what you paid for the car before taxes to autofile@crain.com
The numbers you provide will give us the average price for what people have paid for the car and your comments might even be used in the owners voices section. We are hurting on response on this one, so it would be greatly appreciated if we could hear from you.
Thanks!

Jon,
I am curious about your statement that you are "hurting on response" 'cos i know that most on the RL forums are VERY vocal with their opinions. Who and how did you target to get a response?
Thanks
Pete

Jon posted that at the temple of vtec forum.
He probably gave up trying to sift through the threads with the criticisms from those who havent even sat in the car yet feel they have enough info to form an opinion on the car and try and argue with owners on various forums

If you really needed input, maybe you should have put together a survey instead of just asking owners to send a free-form response to an obscure e-mail address. That may be one of the reasons you haven't heard back.

I am sure their new ammo will be this MT comparison where the RL came in 2nd yet based on what jrock posted in another read it seemd the RL was a very clsoe second and some at MT liked it the best.
Amazing how people pick and choose what info they wish to support when they form an opinion out of well, ignorance.

I'll go to the website and add some comments. (BTW, I still think a structured survey with yes/no questions and space for comments would get people to respond quicker than just asking them for their thoughts.)
Thanks again for filling me in.

All sarcasm aside, I can only think they did it as a compliment to the RL to show it compares quite well vs those high priced flagships. I do know the RL is very close to the LS430 with ultra luxury package.
