from the above review in post # 74.

"The 2011 Acura RL also now has an even quieter cabin thanks to a piece of technology that lurks within the standard 18-inch five spoke aluminum wheels. It is called “wheel resonator technology” according to Acura and it is the first time it has ever been used on a production automobile. "

it mentions 5 spoke wheels.
the pics im seeing all show a newer,fuller wheel.
perhaps those are upgraded wheels,and the sportier 5 spoke are standard.

Interior photos of the new Honda Legend (as Acura RL is known in Japan) are slightly different from the examiner.com photos above (look around the Navigation/audio control knob). 5 photos total here:

Question Is that Black on Black

Looks like Japan gets black/gray wood on black leather ... something I always thought should have been an option. Not too wild about that red stitching tho ...

I suppose if you wanted to, you could take the dark wood/plood trim out of the taupe interiors and retrofit that to the black interior. They seem to call the color New Dark Olive for 2007-08 and Acura RL Wood Black for 2009+. Photgraphs are not detailed enough for me to tell the color differences.

When is the 2011 available?
I did an inventory search in the SF Bay Area. There's only 1 2010 RL in the whole area.

Meh, still looks too plain vanilla to compete with cars in it's class. The new 5 series looks great. Audi always are class leading in terms of exterior. The new E, although a step backwards in designs still looks better. It may be on par with the newly deformed Infiniti M geneartion. We will see what the new Lexus GS looks like.

If you look closely, they appeared to have brought the two lower cross bars out to be inline with the top plenum and they also reduce the 3d effect on the lower dam. Subtle changes but in all it looks better
