Take a look at the link, it's showing the new TSX (looks at little like new IS) but it's saying will have AWD. Could the 3G TL become the RL because of this?

I mean 40k for the new Type S is a little much. With a 4G coming they might be pricing themselves out of the market. This is why I didn't get a G35.

Looks sick. I can only imagine what the 4G TL will look like. And seems like it definitely will have a SH-AWD. I'm pretty sure they will keep the TL what it is now, which is Luxury Performance Sedan. And RL isn't going anywhere. I doubt they will replace it with TL, since it's completely different market segment. What they probably will do is upgrade the RL with 400HP engine, and TL will be at around 350HP, probably with 3.5L turbocharged engine. Hopefully with SH-AWD we'll get more of a BMW-feeling steering and hopefully some decent torque numbers at low rpms. Let's keep our fingers crossed

NSX -

TSX - Acura version of the Sports 4 concept...eh...

Acura seems to be uping its lineup, though. The RSX is gone, the TSX is stepping up, the new TL (09) will probably step up...if they step up the RL, their lineup will be pretty comparable to Lexus, Infiniti, and BMW (ie. cars people realistically cross shop will be more similar). Someone said in another thread that $XXX was too much for an Acura...maybe that's it...Acura is trying to bring itself up to the level (price) as the other luxury brands...no longer "entry luxury" but just luxury.
