Laser guided cruise control????

First, this might be off topic but!!!!! Does anyone know if the new RL will have laser guided cruise control i think that shit is tough. I can't wait for the TSX to have it in like 2012 or something like that.(sike) But i would really like to know.

It's a gimmick if you ask me. I never use the standard cruise control, anyway...I'm curious as to how many people actually purchase the option on other manufacturers' products...hmm...

Knowing Acura, they understand this...and decided against it.

I use cruise control alot. And i can see the value of an automatic cruise... I would go for this option if it were available.

It was one of the only options I got on my first new car. I use it alot, especially on I-95 or the NJ or PA Turnpikes.

Don't know for sure at this point. Honda has it on the JDM Inspire but said they would not bring it over to the U.S. because the system is still being monitored over there.

Same with me here. I use the cruise as soon as I hit the highway.

this is the only feature I really really wish my TSX had that it doesn't. Just drove 4 hrs up 81 behind people going varying speeds so regular cruise control was almost useless. My feet long for radar cruise control during those long drives.
