I watch the Acura webpage like a hawk. Was delighted to finally see some new photos of the RLX added after they had uploaded one onto the RLX's homepage that couldn't be found else where.

I like these new pictures better than the previous ones. They look millions of times better. You all know what I'll be doing to #5 EXHAUSTS!!









We'll have to wait and see what the RLX Hybrid images bring.

P.S, right click the image and open the link in a new tab. I attached the full resolution 3500x1500 pictures for you guys.

^^ Nice pics. Thanks for posting! My favorite is #2.....I still dislike the chrome around the rear deflectors.

Timmy18

2 and 4 are my favorite!

Timmy18

Done!

weather

Do you have the ability to do a single tip on each side (as in the TL)?

With respect to the photos....I wish those photos would have included a white RLX.

GoHawks

They brought back the dual exhaust?!

Smart move!

^^ I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or serious.....You do realize that Timmy did a photo shop right?!

Timmy18

Am I that good? haha

Yes, you are that good!

GoHawks

I was fooled. I thought it was real. For a second there I thought Acura was finding their long lost inner sports car mojo.

getakey

why would they put quad exhaust and hide them? Does quad provide any improvement over straight dual? I'm assuming the quad is only at the exhaust tips

Thanks for posting. I agree, much better shots than the old ones that all seemed computer-generated, unimaginative and grainy. These really show the styling and lines of the car.

God damn people. lol

I agree and these pics also do a much better job of displaying the new wheels than the previous renderings - they look much better in these pics (IMHO).

Hi... I'm reading Acurazine from years and never post... I did a little photoshop to the back of the RLX adding the 2009 TL tailpipes...

I personally think that it looks much better than hiding them..

I don't know why I can't see the picture...

Anyways here is the link https://plus.google.com/photos/10991...97266380118066

javier509 and Timmy...Thanks to both of you for your work. No doubt that the RLX would look better with visible exhaust tips BUT they would need to remove the chromed rear light deflectors as they distract from the exhaust tips.

Timmy18

It looks good! I'd say they're a bit big and the over all shape doesn't fit the bumper cut outs but that all can be fixed.

Timmy18

Revisions, revisions...

RLX Hybrid has been shown with a a grey instead of black dash but here you can see the black lives on!!



Anyone else think there is two different colors/ types of wood grain shown? On the left side of the steering wheel there is a darker, more brown wood then the others, and it can't just be a shadow or the lighting. What ever wood it is on the left side, I love it!

I'm still not a fan of the push button selector. If I ever own one of these cars there will be a lever conversion happening. It just looks uncomfortable to let your hand dangle there.

the wheels in the new pics are the same 19" 14-spoke alloy wheels that have been available since day-1 on the Tech/Advanced models. I'm not sure I like the "new" 10-spoke alloy wheels on the SH-AWD model. Something seems a little "off" about them. But hard to say until we get more pics.

holografique

If you've ever driven the RLX, you'll know that the arm rest is huge and comfy and makes up for any need to rest your hand on a lever. IMO it's actually more comfortable not resting your hand on the level than doing so in the current model.

holografique

I don't know that there are two types in this one pic, looks the same to me.

But I will say that the wood-grain in this pic does look different from the current wood-grain. It looks like it is a new type/color specifically for the SH-AWD model. I like it. it's more of a cherry-red/brown whereas the current model is a deeper rich "coffee" brown.

Timmy18

It's a different pattern and color then the current model for sure, I already knew that. What I'm pointing out is that it looks like the piece on the left side of the steering wheel looks to be a richer dark brown where as the rest of the interior is a redish brown.

I fixed it either way and added some exotic color choices. Some may like or hate.

weather

Timmy18....Stop doing this to me!! You are torturing me with making a sexy RLX that I'll never be able to own BTW...the 3rd interior color (from the top) is my favorite!

Timmy18

lol, sorry. But I'm taking that as a compliment!

I didn't expect anyone to like the darkish/ grayish blue.

holografique

ah! I see it now! yea, looks like proof of someone at Acura having done a photoshop job and missed that piece. whoops!

I like your fourth mod down from the top.

hondamore

My bad - I assumed the new pics were of the AWD model and got confused. Doh!!

Rocketsfan

Timmaaaaaaaay, get outta the Crayolas!!!!


lol. Awesome job guys. And yes, I definitely see the 2 different wood colors in the original pic.

Timmy18

THANK YOU. Finally someone else see's it.

Howz about a Black dash with Carbon Fiber instead of wood?

Timmy18

No.

lumpulus

All right then....any reason why?

Timmy18

You're asking for carbon fiber in the RLX. It's too tacky for one and doesn't fit in this class of a vehicle. We all know it would be fake anyway which is worse.

scv76

Someone made a comment about the black dashes.......Are we stuck with only black, or are other colors available for the RLX?
Black anything doesn't work too well in sunny Southern California

scv76

Timmy, have you played around with coloring the gray beak shield?

George Knighton

You know, it's funny one of the little changes in direction.

I remember that the guy in charge of rolling out the 4G TL would talk on camera about how he'd resolve that everything in the interior of the TL would be natural or recycled material, and that he had made a conscious decision to have as little plastic as possible in order to avoid the emissions that plastics leech into the atmosphere of an enclosed space.

Although I appreciate the interior of the RLX very much, and although it's very obviously a very high quality interior that's stitched together very well and made of high quality materials, it is at the same time very clear that they might have abandoned the "all natural or at least recycled" approach.

Or am I missing something?

Timmy18

Acura's posted some more recently! Wasn't expecting that!

In the second picture are those wheels different from what we have seen to-date on PAW-S and the Hybrid?
