Why you said that? Is $50K too much for that car?

Not at all, its a bargain considering the features and interior materials.

I like the 05 RL interio design, especially the center control console.

I really like it too. But they got rid of the voice activation and touch screen on the Navi of the new RL.

I would stay away from used M5 or other used BMW. It will cost you arm and leg if you ever need a repair.

I do not know how much the new 05 RL cost, but I am invited to go to my Acura dealership to have the first viewing of the new RL tomarrow. I will let you guys know after.

No, the voice activation is still there. In fact, its improved.

I read the specs of the new RL at vtec.net. And pretty much everything looks good except the fact that the passenger seat only has 4 way power and no A/C fan cooled front seating.

Hopefully they'll add that next year.

No excuse really since the MDX can be had with an 8 way passenger seat and the Canadians get A/C cooled seats..

I drove the RL today. I went to Burrard Acura and went out for a 30 min drive. The New RL really does not feel any different than my 03 TLS in ride quality it does have good acceleration for a heavy car (due to those 300 horses). I could not really open up since it was all downtown driving. The Nav is not voice activated so I had my girlfriend play around with it as I drove. It was funny at the light a guy behind me was looking so I raised the rear sun shield cool option wish I had that in my TL. The RL seem smaller inside than my car could be because it was based on the new accord platform which is smaller inside. Turn on the Air conditioned seats to see if my fanny got cool it took awhile but it did LOL. Over all its a good car but not worth $70,000 CAD.
