Acura is moving more upscale with it's own design studio so it has to get it's own engine along with a luxury ride look for something special in 2009

I'm looking forward to 2009. The new products might actually convince me to upgrade from my RL. Nah! I think I'll keep my RL until the wheels fall off.

Be careful when you say that! That's what I said about my TL until the floor fell out from RL pricing. If there weren't such deals, I'd still be driving my TL today.

Acura would have to come up with something unprecedented for me to upgrade from my RL. Right now, every other car they have is a downgrade.

Oh, I meant to tell you - I was driving behind you the other day and your wheels looked loose ...

Funny!

By the way, Lexus is planning on releasing the IS-F, which will have a V8 engine, in 2007. So basically, Lexus' smallest "entry-level" car will have the potential of a V8. With news like this, I wonder if HMC really wants the luxury market.
