RL to TL functions swap

big one is Acura link, get xm traffic reports integrated w/ nav, hotness

more cosmetic, but I actually prefer the RL wheel better if funcitonal

here's the big one for some people, but what are the odds that the RL side mirrors with blinkers are the same fit

split armrest is nice

Don't forget the sh awd which we know already fits on Japanese Accord platform, lets get that rolling asap

Like I have been saying for months.....AWD for the TL. I also said the card keyless entry called (Acura Keyless entry system).

Also the PAX michelin tires, which I haven't clarify if the RL has them, but it seems like it.

The XM traffic will sure pass on to the TL...like I also mention months ago.

I have to say good job acura....just wish the RL had more HP....I was expecting a 3.5 iVtec DOHC 330hp

Also the RL has instant MPG too.....maybe an update for the TL in 05

auto adjusting headlights are a nice touch. i just wished honda would come up with a V8 already. why do they refuse to create an engine that has 2 more cylinders? it would put them right at the level where everybody else is. i know honda is known for the efficient 4 and 6 bangers but why not an 8? they have cart racing engines that are 8 cylinders. they would be able to offer this in their MDX, TL and RL as options.

Things on the RL that will not go on the TL

Electric Tilt / Telsc steering, Cooled seats, onstar, 300hp, adaptive front lightning system.

Has not been released....but if the RL does in fact come with adaptive cruise control.....that won't go on the TL either....maybe as an option.
