Test drove a RL! Wow

I own a 2006 TSXand my my friend has a TL, which I drive on a regular basis. I have not idea was some people complain about the power. I could not believe how fast the RL took off! IMP, it is much better than the TL. In fact when I got back in the TL is was like the difference from the TL baack to my TSX. The car is so much more refined than the TL. I am an audiophile, and the audio system was just fabulous at least at low volume. The RL I drove had the adaptive cruise control and it worked like charm! I have to have one of these. You guys who have one are lucky.

Nice...good to see non owners posting that they liked the car rather than bitching about the power thing like nobody else has done that before them or that it is some shock that the car isn't as quick as like a M45.

It's slightly more refined than the TL, but definitely not faster.

It might not be, but it sure feels faster.

And we're talking about a fraction of a second's difference in speed.

I dont have an RL. My father does. I drove it a couple weeks ago, and I know i'd take it to 40 in my TL. But there is no doubt in my mind that the RL could go from 40-120 twice as fast as mine. Woooo the RL is a blast.
