owners. i would like to hear from how the 2009 Rl is doing.is there another forum for 09 RL?

 

No new forum for the 2009. The 2009 is still a 2G RL, it's a "MMC" (Mid-model change). We have heard from only two people with 2009s so far. Too bad...other than the front, it's a pretty nice car. Especially with Ronjon wheels:

the 09 rl looks like a accord sedan

 

Yep, but a 100 times better. Acura for Life!

 

09 Redundo Red RL with CMBS here. Swapped out tires and about to swap out windshield wipers.

Ask away.

 

^have you posted any pictures of your RL yet? I've only seen white or black '09s so far. Do you think the red color takes away from the car's elegance?

 

It would be nice to see real-world pics of the different colors.

 

now

 

Isn't a TL actually a hooked up Accord with leather? And the TSX is really a hooked up Civic?

 

^A few years ago, that could be said for the TL and Accord. Specifically the 99-03 TL and the 98-02 Accord. Same platform and even same interior pieces. As the generations continue, the TL is distancing itself further and further from the Accord.

The TSX is an upgraded Accord now, but def not a civic.

 

TSX is a very nice little car. Many amenities and zips around traffic nicely. Not a bad buy at all. The Accord-BLAH!

 

I'll post pics soon, I am trying to sell my 06 TL. Today my cousin offered a stop light race, he was in my 06TL with 34k on it. Well, by 40mph I was already 1.5 cars ahead and he said the tires didn't even peel...oh well.

 

how do you post pics in here again? I can technically offer pics from the original ebay auction that it was on.

Have you seen one rolling down the road? I saw one in white the other day. It looked REALLY good to me. I was shocked. The grill looks better in person. Even on the TL (which still looks MEH to me).

 

I like the new design. The front kept me mesmerize when I was at the dealership.

 

wow, front looks pretty decent on the red one. for some reason i dont like it on a black RL. or white for that matter. but still, a very nice ride

 

the RL on the 09...has the only "shield" i like on it! i think it's a good looker...but not that popular amongst the az community...

 

For those of your who require pictures, go to Acura.com, select RL, build it in and color combination available and then look at it.

 

That looks great!!!

 

The TL is based on the USDM Accord
The TSX is based on the rest of the world Accord.
While both are based on the Honda Global Midsized platform (as is the RL), the TSX is a smaller, lighter car.

 

Finally figured out how to post photos here. I am currently selling the one below.

 

Dare I say it's beginning to grow on me.

 

The same here. It looks very aggressive. I'd have to put on a new grille, though...

There are finally aftermarket grilles out for the new TL, TSX, and MDX. RonJon is making one for the TL.

That grill for the TL makes the car look soooooo much better, hope they do the same for the RL

 

Installing that grill would destroy CMBS sensor as well as my newly installed ZR3.

 

I love the 09 RL.

 

tested acceleration. 0-60 in 5.9, 0-60 w/ 5 passengers 7.67

 

Using?

 

Escort GT2

 

can you imagine if Acurazine created a section just for 09RL's it would be a very limited club...two prehaps three members discussing their cars. not that there are many 05,06,07 & 08 members, but there are at least enough to keep interest up.

 

 

Damn, that RL looks good. And its stock!

I still love the 05-08 RL, and it will still be one of the best looking large sedans, IMO. I didn't like the 09 when I first saw it, but its growing on me. The first picture of it on the street in the daytime is beautiful! It looks alot better in person or in the real world and not on some brochure. Dare I say, the grille looks hot. Nice to see they gave the 09 better stock wheels.

 

If I were to mod the RL, I would get the 06-07. If I were to leave it stock, I would get the 09 RL.

 

Here are the rest of the photos, check back as I will get some day light photos eventually.

Very Nice Car.
Thanks for sharing the pics.

 

037.. Nice color ... Car looks sharp...deinitely a great buy on your part.

 

I never had much of a problem with the new 09 front. Real pics look even better.
I did not know they changed the exhausts from round to whatever shape that is.

 

Here are some better pics:

 

Looks very nice.

How do you like that CMBS thing?

 

I think it's quite useful. When you pass cars too close it flashes a warning in case you missed it. Much more so when ACC is enabled, then you can rest your feet without worrying about running into cars in front of you.

Not an essential feature, but if it came in a cheap package...grab it.
