Should be a fun time. We have these in both Phoenix and Atlanta this month and next for the RLX dealer intro. Compare to competitors, learn the RLX, and experience the drive.

I'm assuming all dealers are getting their cars by 2/15 since there seems to be an embargo on writing about the driving impressions that ends on 2/15.

Colin, how did your RLX testing go?

I will be flying south next weekend, and interested to hear.

Great to see.

Ready to drive and test this myself, and learn more about the intricacies in detail from Acura. Just hope my weekend doing so in Atlanta stays dry, without the rain predicted...as good of a wet weather test as that may be.

Considering how many TLs I have bought, most from the same dealer I am surprised they have not reached out to me to let me know when the RLX is coming in. I am curious to hear about the Atlanta events so I can check the RLX out myself. I hope it presents itself better in person than in pics as nothing in the pics has me yearning for the car.

Since our return from the event, we have been discussing our marketing plan for this vehicle. Suffice to say we haven't arrived at a definitive answer yet. We do agree that when we have something for people to see we will reach out to current RL owners for sure. TL, MDX, and multiple Acura households would also be on the list.

Acura as a whole is missing the boat, they send me info on TLs I have long since gotten rid of, so they know I own multiple TLs, they should have sent our mass mailings to TL and higher owners at least announcing the car, start to perk the curiosity. I bet most Acura owners don't even know the RLX is coming.

Yes, there was a very nice write up on the RLX in the last edition of Acura Style (which I really like, BTW). I assume everyone who has purchased a new Acura gets that publication.

I wonder if it's a dealer issue? I continued to receive Acura Style for many years after I had last purchased a new Acura (I kept my Legend for 18 years), and it continued to come following the purchase of my TL.

I know that dealers are responsible for adding people to the magazine list but I don't think they are responsible for removing them. i know that I fell off the list after the expiration of my 2008 TSX. On the flipside, we continue to receive occasional notices from Honda regarding our much older S2000s. I would imagine that I'm back on the list with the addition of the 2013 ILX

Based on our experience and what others are posting I think Acura marketing and whoever decides which person gets "Acura Style" needs to step it up. We've owned an '08 TL and currently have a '10 ZDX and have never received a copy. We're interested in the RLX as a replacement for the ZDX when the time comes. I suppose I should bug my dealer about this mag.

So now I am pissed I have signed up for every RLX notification to find and was not aware when the drive event was in Atlanta and I was even off Monday. If Acura is not going to notify the people that actively sign up for these things how do they expect to sell the car!

I like the dark metallic color. Were any of the cars SH-SH-AWD? Or all just the P-AWS?

All P-AWS. The Sport Hybrid System will be out September/October time frame, and in lower volume. Everyone will need to DRIVE the P-AWS cars, even vs. other RWD & AWD sedans, to feel the difference. Impressive.



This was dealer only, in Atlanta and Phoenix depending on country region. We will all mostly be receiving our first 2 RLX's in the next week or so, so stay in tune for updates from your dealer about their arrival. I have (2) Tech's coming in between 2/14-2/18, and one will be a special demo per Acura with additional accessories. Both can be test driven and used, but not sold until mid March.

I'm taking my '07 RL in for service this week at Jackson in Roswell. Might get to see an RLX, maybe even take it for a spin.
