Its either a hit or miss with this car.

by Kevin from Miami, FL (7/22/08)
Pros:More torque, more responsive, comfortable cruiser and agile performer
Cons:I'd ask for a V8 but fuel economy for the V6 is already shocking, still not that roomy

The new RL is overall an improvement over the previous generation. Its looks will grow on you (a little) and its definitely more of a sports sedan than it was. The engine is more powerful but BMW's twin turbo just outshines it in every way (including fuel economy) and the Lexus GS350 offers identical horsepower and torque. And although the car has grown in just about every dimension there's no noticable difference inside. Thankfully the seats are extremely comfortable (I love the cooled seats in FL) and its an attractive interior. Taking this car into corners you'll be suprised at how the car hangs on at high speeds. Thanks to more torque, it can now pass cars more effortlessly and maintain speed up a steep hill without much effort. My only serious complaint has to do with the fuel economy. I average about 20 mpg (mostly highway driving) with this car. That's what V8 engines do (sometimes better). Yes, it has 300 bhp but so does Lexus and BMW and they get better fuel economy. Acura is definitely headed in the right direction but they still need to fix a few things before they can scare BMW, Mercedes Benz, Audi, Lexus, Jaguar, ect.
