Anyone know for sure if the production RL has the paddle shifters? I would lean towards yes but who knows.

I think too many more gadgets (and pseudo-iDrive/MMI interface) would scare me.
Also would get me to seriously cross-shop the [2005/2006] Lexus GS330/430 and [2006] Infiniti M45.

My guess (and God knows I've guessed wrong before) is someone thought a fin looked better than a bump. Sell the sizzle I guess. It's ugly in my opinion but it is not something that would keep me up at night.

But you're probably right. It's likely more about styling than anything else. At least it's not as huge as the Audi satellite fin.

That looks like 17" or 18" (hard to tell), but 20"...

dunno but as of now it's definitely my next car.....that is of course if it handles as good as the TL....the RL now is too old-manish......im assuming from what i hear and by the looks, they made it faster, and tighter.

Dammm...nice car!! THe RL looks Mercedez's front and BMW's rear. Especially with an AWD 300hp, I would of bought this car if I did not purchase the TL. I might switch over and I heard the real thing is better looking in person than the pics as per salesman from Acura.
