Acura RL!!

This car is badazz. I sat in it yesterday played with the DVD System and Navigation. This car can respond to over 500 voice commands which is insane. It has Onstar very cool in case of an accident.
It also has System Data Updates- meaning it will automatically update data in the vechicle to make sure everything is current, instead of going to the dealership physically and having them update by computer. You can be driving anywhere and automatically get updates.
Another cool feature it has is when you make an online appontment at your local dealership if its just for an oil change you will recieve a reminder of the date and time of scheduled appointment.If there is a recall on the car you will get it through the Nav screen. An envelope will be displayed on the top right hand corner of screen.
Then there is XM Traffic which you will get 1 yr free. You guys know what that is. Freakin tells you when there is an accident on the road. Tries to redirect you to get to your destination the fastest.


Many more features. It would be kool if the TL had those features or at least one. I perfer the XM traffic.

Awesome car, with great features. Sadly, it still lacks air conditioned seats!

Great news! I thought someone said the actual production caqr did not get the ventilated seats. In this case, I would be happily corrected! Thanks.

If I had the cake I'd probably ante up for the RL, but we want to replace the Odyssey with an MDX, so the TL will do for now.

Nice car, I had the pleasure to test drive it the same day they came off the truck!
(I don't see any ventilated seats on the window sticker...)

The perfect car would be a TL with all those features!

Hahahaha..it seems to be a "Canadian-only" feature for '05!

"....For Canada only, headlight washers and heated, ventilated, perforated leather front seats warm and cool their occupants using three fans built into the seat structure. "
