Went to my dealer today (Pohanka Acura) to see if they had any of the 2005 RLs, so that I could sneak some pictures. None were out in the open, but they did have five or six 2005 RSX-S on the lot.

All were triple digit VINs; the lowest number I saw was 138.

Incidentally, the 2004 TLs on the lot were VIN 68XXX and up.

I wonder when the dealers will release the 05 RL for everyone, like I remember 04 TL has a premier party with most dealers.

how much the RL going for?

Raheel

I am guessing Around $51-52K, if they got special body kits, than like $57-58K Max + Tax

Teh Jatt

My Dealer had one (RSX, not RL) today when I was down there.
200hp raised to 210
Muffler sounds a little diff according to dealer.
Diff body kit than last year.

I'll try and get some pics next week when I go back if no one else has posted some yet.
Anythig in particular you all want to see?

You can see the '05 RSX on www.acura.com . It doesn't look much different than the 03-04 model, just a slight revision.

Are those Projectors and Xenons or still Halogens? Cuz the new headlights look nice

IMHO, the current 04RL is around 46k (right?). And, Acura executives ever "mentioned" the new car should not get too far. Below 50k could be right.

thsiao

Yup, only slight revisions... new headlights (that are horrible looking... makes the car look like a Civic), new tailights, new 17" rims that are HOT!, and slightly modified body kit...

The headlights are NOT Projectors. There is only one housing that looks like a projector style housing and its actually the turn signal.

Ask the 17 to 19 yr olds here how to get one. They somehow can afford new TLs !

Casper42

Agreed. The Edmunds article quotes an Acura spokesperson as saying "Well below 50". And since there are almost no options on the car (everything comes standard pretty much) you cant float the price up too easily.

I had a 03 Type S and now my friend is gettign the 05 type S, personally he wants a 04, because the 05 is wack... I'm a big RSX fan myself, looks wise the 05 looks funny to me, but then again i also said that the RSX was a really ugly car to replace the integra when it first came out. Sure the 05 is a lil faster then a 02-04 stock, but to any true RSX fan the 02-04 the sky is the limit when it comes to tunning it. There's a 505 whp rsx somewhere around, and it's still streetable.

...and some of them are "paying cash". Time for me to quit my Investment Banking job and start delivering pizza.
