suggest you start a new thread with your issue as suibject and you will probably get more response.
I do recall a thread about this though - so you should search the forum

Use that site. It has helped me with every car I've owned with Homelink (three Acuras, wifey's Pilot, and now my Cadi).

It sounds like the distribution was increased enough to enable more sales. Perhaps Acura is cleaning out the inventory in anticipation of the updated model? It certainly has not been by marketing. Sales 'demand' has been controlled by inventory availability the last 2 years.
With the Saitama plant not producing new RLs & LEGENDS for close to a year, I wonder how much re-tooling was done to enable another updated version. I can hope....
Even if Acura produces a styling refinement less obnoxious, I still expect an apology from Acura. In writing. Delivered to me personally. Along with a replacement for my Dave Marek Voodoo doll.

could they be dealing more on price too? Maybe since the model is not being built anymore are dealers trying to blow out what they have left and as a result - prices are better? as the price drops - the RL becomes an even better value. I'm sure a huge percentage of RL buyers chose it, not because it was the "fastest" or "best handling" but because it represented an excellent value - it was a ton of luxury for a good price...
as price comes down, it would become an easier decision to buy an Acura RL for many woudl be buyers..
just a thought..

Miner, I really like the RonJon grille. It's mostly the snaggle tooth that repels everybody.
Congrats on your new baby!

I actually got a pretty nice sales brochure on the RL in the mail the other day. It was unsolicited so Acura must be getting proactive in marketing the car. They're about 4 years late on that though.

Better late than never? Maybe it goes along with the executive vice pres' comment of "we can't scrap it"?

I got the brochure also. At one point I felt Acura did not care to retain existing customers as the styling became so offensive and distasteful. I really felt Acura did not care if it turned off it's existing client base as the new keen-edge-power-phlegm would just open up a whole new market for them.
Now they want to crawl back to me and woo me back? All of a sudden I am a valuable customer?![Roll Eyes](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
Until I see it, not budging. I still want that formal apology from Acura. In writing. Hand delivered.
