05 Rl

I just saw a 05 RL test mule on my way home on 405 heading north. It exited on Western, so they were heading back to the Honda HQ. Sorry, no pics, didn't have any camera with me. Very little changes that I could notice from the prototype. It had a little fin antenna like the ones you see on BMW's. There were chrome trims on the bumpers and the door handles. Head lights didn't change from the prototype. Color was a dark grey, more like CGP you find on a TSX than AM. As for the wheels, it looks like a 17".

If you are around Torrance area, keep your cameras handy...
