I talked to my local Acura dealer and they told me 42k was the lowest possible..I told them 41.5k was the lowest I'd go. So instead, I bought an RX400h because they were giving 4k off the sticker. :tongue:
$10,000 below sticker for RL?

Does anyone know if you can still get a RL for Invoice?
i'm considering it too if it's 40k, great car and great deal. might get 2 actually, one for uncle and one for family. '06 around the corner, something gotta give for the '05s. keep us updated if anyone got anything new! :biggrin:
the best i found so far is $42k, anyone can get a better deal?
I called today and they could do 43K for me.
$42,829 with CarsDirect
Thanks, right now i'm really torn between trading in my m3 for a RL or poneying up some more$$ and finding myselft a 02+ NSX :biggrin: or just keep my M3 :frown:
mm....do i hear a '05 RL groupbuy? :biggrin: wonder if dealer would consider it. :wink:

M3 to NSX I can see.
M3 to RL makes no sense at all to me.
If any of you out there have an an RL or are close to buying one, I have a set of RL wheels that I bought from ebay. I was looking for winter wheels for my TL, not thinking the lug pattern would be different. So, if anyone is looking for a nice set of wheels let me know. They were taken off a new RL that was purchased with upgraded wheels. I'm sure they had the normal 30 miles or so on them. There is one slight pit on one of the edges, very small. If anyone is interested I'll take some pics. If I can't sell them I may have the back half machined off and hang them on the wall. Nice Acura art!!!

I'm sure that the RL is more reliable than an M3, but still. In my mind, the RL is a glorified accord and is in no way on par with the M3.

My initial preconceived opinion of the '05 was "yawn"...after driving one and
comparing it to other $50K 4 dr sedans, I bought one!

FWD w/ AWD capability...?!?
What's the power distribution between the front & rear axles of the '05 RL, when AWD isn't active per'se...
When it comes to luxury sedans, I personally prefer RWD... or atleast primarily RWD if an AWD drivetrain.

Supposedly Honda whipped the RL around the Nurburgring and it beat R34 skyline. That's no slouch.

RL = FWD Midsize Automatic
Accord = FWD Midsize Automatic
Badge has nothing to do with it. The M3 is RWD, it's got a manual gearbox, and it's got the best brakes I've ever felt short of the STi Brembos. I prefer Hondas, and if they made anything that was comparable I'm sure I'd like it, but a FWD V6 Automatic isn't even in the same ballpark. The TSX is much more interesting than the RL to me, because if it's got to be FWD, at least they can put a lightweight engine in it and made it where I can shift my own gears.

Um no.
RL = AWD Midsize Auto.
In fact, it is the most advanced AWD system on the market according to Honda.

It could set the friggin record for the 'Ring and still not come up on my radar screen, because it's an automatic. I want to be involved in the drive, and an automatic kills that.

I'll compromise. It's not FWD, but it's also not AWD. It's "AWD". ie - in theory there is some power going to the rear wheels. In reality it will still drive like a FWD car.
Dave Hardy said:
Would it still have Torque Steer?
Dunno. Torque steer doesn't bother me too much, so I've never paid too much attention to it.
