I think its more of an aquired taste... I really like it, but didnt like it all that much at first... With some nice subtle wheels, its a real nice car...

It's not too bad in person. I saw it at the autoshow and liked it. In pictures it looks really bland to me.

2005+ would include the 2006

It doesn't look bad to me with the bodykit, but without it the RL kinda looks like an Accord.

I like all of the RL's... 1st gen and 2nd gen...

Sure it looks like a chubby accord, but that's not necessarily a bad thing...

I like the 2 door better (which is why I have one) because I couldn't afford a TL and didn't want an Accord sedan.

The new rear end of the 4 door accord makes it look dated by about 10 years

It's too safe of a design, I think that's why they decided to throw in the LEDs. But at least it cleans up the rear better than the original lights.

i like the new RL,

but it does look kinda cheap. I think it kinda has that cheap sports sedan look, more than a big luxury sedan. But i still love the way it looks, and i like how I don't see them all over the roads. But I have seen more recently than i have in the past.

The accord sedan on the other hand is ugly. At first the taillights looked too sad, so then they changed it, and i thought they would try and make it look better, but i think they just made it worse.

I think the new RL is slick, I just think the stock wheels are horrible.

The RL needs to stand out. It blends in too much to the point that only us enthusiasts might be able to discern the it with a glance.

With the A-spec package and wheels it makes the RL look really nice.

i really like the front, but it starts to look more and more bland as you get to the rear. by the time you get to the rear, it looks really boring. the stock rims don't help either...i think the tl and tsx rims look better.

now...when you add the a-spec kit and rims, then it looks a lot better...but it doesn't look like a big luxury sedan with or without the kit.
