New RL
Saw a new RL today. Snapped a couple pics but I am too lazy to go to my truck to get my camera. I am pretty dissappointed after hearing everyone here go on and on about how nice it is. It was ordinary at best. Nothing stood out about it. The TL is a much, MUCH better looking car. I don't understand why Acura doesn't do something with their flagship to actually make it desireable.

For example, a plumber has a higher class than a college professor, because he makes more money, but a college professor has a high status because he holds a "white collar" job. Therefore people in American are obsessed with their status by the car they drive which does not always relate to their class.
