That is one CLEAN car, both figuratively and literally.

i'd be interested to hear your thoughts/observations once you've had seat timei n the RL...and compare it to the TL-S...

the TL-S and RL were both on my list.. I almost got a TL-S.. but got an RL.. The TL-S was sporty..but teh FWD ruined it for me...

just tonight I pakred my RL right next to a WDP TL.... i think they look great in that color..but honestluy...lookkkng at the RL and TL side by side.the RL looks som uch classier and more elegant...

Previous owner did an excellent job keeping the front chip-free. My previous '06 NBP looked terrible from the road rash. First thing I did with my '10 was add a clear bra.

yea, just the brief time I have already been behind the wheel, it doesnt take long to feel the difference in driving feel. I love how smooth of a ride it is, the TL-S was so much more "sport tuned suspension" and very responsive to the road- whereas the RL is a much more Luxiourious ride- which I wanted. Your last sentence is spot on- class and elegance are the words Also, as you mentioned the FWD dynamic was getting to me too- the SH-AWD is an excellent driving experience

Nice. The RL is quite the car, especially with the A-Spec suspenders! Great balance of ride and handling. Interestingly enough though, I am thinking about giving mine up for a 2012 TL SH-AWD (as mentioned in another thread). I could be crazy.

Great looking car! I also just bought an 08 in sliver and looking to do some light mods if anyone has any recommendations for suspension.

Welcome! Visit the 2G RL garage to familiarize yourself with the site. There are plenty of threads about suspension and other mods that have been done successfully on our cars. You'll want to use the search button to keep from getting by some of the less patient members here.

You are truly blessed to have not only an RL but the A-spec. The more you drive it the more you will love it.

The A-Spec consists of lowered springs/shocks and tire/wheel package.
