Traded the TL-S, its been awesome...

but I'm still in the FAMILY

Went and drove the Infiniti G37 and I was not impressed at all. I thought it was very small, and the performance did not wow me as I had expected. So I then went to Acura and saw this bad boy sitting in the CPO lot with 30k (2008) on him.... the key never left my pants pocket after the test drive and I got a great deal! I hope you guys enjoy the shots (and I know, Bar Keepers Friend on the exhaust....)
Goodbye...

Nice ride.

I share the same opinion as wall e; there's something about the styling of the '09+ that makes me fond of the appearance.

Not to be a hater, but I think the RL of that gen is super bland. I understand the selection over a G37, but why even trade in the the Type s?

RLs are so great. i tried to find a used 2008 RL last year, and i couldnt... i found a used 09 RL last month, and almost bought it, but the Navi on the 09-10RL vs. 09-10TL, was way inferior.

love the AC'ed seats ;

*Drools* I want it haha. However I will be buying a MDX Elite once I pay off my TL-S so I can tow a camper trailer and use it as a winter vehicle but I'd love for an RL like that to be part of my collection.
