It might explain some of the reasons why the RL costs so much more that than the TL. The RL uses quite a bit of aluminum under the body, which apparently is expensive. Also, the SH-AWD increases the price.

 

Very nice. The second link's video was clearer for some reason, even thought they are the same.

 

Nice post...

It's good to see those kinda reviews, makes you appreciate the car/engineering more. Thought they dont' seem as professional as the Japanese (Best Motoring). In the middle of the video the air compressor came on, that's a big nono in video production.

 

That was pretty cool. I didn't realize how much alum. they used in the RL. Honda

 

It's just a guy with a mini-DV so it's not intended to be a professional level production. The guys at TOV do this now with all new Honda and Acura models to show the amount of engineering that goes into developing these new models. More than the eye can see.

 

It would be awesome if the RL can get extra 20-30 HP with a more efficient exthust system (new cat, mid pipe...etc). Won't be cheap though, that's for sure...
