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.

 

I am not feeling the style of the new RL, but I am going to try test driving it tommorow.....

 

Most older Honda/Acura owners want something less flashy. This is especially true in Japan.

 

I think most people in today's day and age that can afford a high priced car would want something a little nicer. This car really did look very ordinary

 

Well thats your opinion and there are many "nicer" looking cars for you to buy. But you'd be amazed how many do NOT want a flashy car.

 

i think you are confusing "today’s day and age" with modern American society. Most countries around the world are not nearly obsesses with perceived socioeconomic class and status. Remember there is a difference between the two, status is how others place you on the "social ladder", and class is directly related to your socioeconomic level. 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.

 

man, that's deep ferrari... :gheylaugh: okay, this thread turned kinda weird so i'll just agree that the new RL is too bland for my taste

 

sorry diddnt mean to hurt your little head

 

 

Interesting. Um, what other country has Acuras?
