yes, right above the TL-S![](http://www.acura-tl.com/ubb/smile.gif)
225 hp......when did that happen? Hmm I guess developing the MD-X powerplant had some nice side effects...I'm not sure if this makes the RL more appealing, because now dealers can charge closer to list price for RL's.....of course any of the 210-hp RL's will be going for a heavy discount....hrmmm...need to drive down to the 'ol Acura dealer and see what their inventory is looking like...

Yea, you're right about the all-new thing....but i thought it was getting the v-8 by 2003 or 2004....this might just be a stop-gap measure...

I bet the V8 engine will come for the 2003 or 2004 RL. I think they upped the horsepower for the RL now because it would be embarrassing for it to have so little horsepower (210) compared to the TL (225) or TL-S (260). However, I think it should have come in 1999 when the TL was first introduced.

Toronto, you are correct..I believe it will be coming out in 2003 or 4.
