Honda is NOTORIOUS for keeping new models under a tight lid.

I got a question about the RL, and what class it is in. Would it be in the same class as the M45, GS430, 5 Series, A6, E-Class etc. Or is it considered to be in the rankings of the LS430, 7 Series, S Class, Q45, A8, etc???

Man, Id really love to see HOnda come out with the first Hybrid that has no performance compromise. I'm not a greenie by any stretch, but 40 mpg sounds good to me. Almost half the friggin car payment saved in GAS.
But you're right, could just be smoke and mirrors. We'll see.

I will buy it if 05RL gives me the same sensational experiences as my 94 Legend did ten years ago. Plus, I hope it will still be made in Japan. Let's see.

When the RL DOES come out, we will look back and laugh.
Think back to 6 months before the TL came out - the rumors were just amazing - right up to the final day!
You could say the new RL will be nuclear powered and use anti-gravity technology and be as right as anyone at this time. The US Government should use Honda to keep it's secrets!

Hybrid
I'm not sure I'm in the market for the RL, but if Acura makes a hybrid MDX to compete with the forthcoming RX Hybrid, I'm buying it. I really want an SUV (or rugged wagon for that matter) with better than crappy gas mileage. Oh yeah, and I don't want any Ford.
