im not sure if the vigor still exist in europe, but it is called the TL in north america carried in the acura name.

Torrance, California - The 2004 Acura TL A-Spec concept made its debut at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show. While the production TL features a wide stance, the Concept TL's track has been widened by nearly two inches. The wider track combines with custom 21-inch alloy wheels, high performance tires and wide fender flares, to give the Concept a more muscular appearance. A panoramic glass roof flows back along the length of the cockpit.

The front fascia has been redesigned with a new bumper, more angular headlight treatments, an enhanced signature Acura grille and larger lower air intakes. In the rear, the trunk lid has been restyled with an integrated down force spoiler. A new bumper featuring larger, high flow exhaust finishers and new taillight treatments has also been applied.

The TL A-Spec Concept has a 3.2-litre V6 engine with a high flow intake and exhaust as well as internal engine modifications to raise the output to over 300 horsepower. An A-Spec high performance suspension package with track-tuned shocks and springs lowers the car by one inch and enhances the TL's handling precision. Brembo brake components, including 8-piston caliper and 15-inch drilled rotors, give the TL A-Spec Concept increased stopping power.

I think the RL is the Vigor in the Europe, not the TL. The TL is my favorite acura right now, we test drove one and it felt like heaven, its got pick up.

the RL in north america is called the LEGEND in europe/australia/japan

Link to LEGEND (http://www.honda.com.au/showroom1/legend)

Link to RL (http://www.acura.com/models/model_index.asp?module=rl)

asides from the acura and honda badge. in conclusion, an rl is a legend, not vigor.

I really, really, really, really, really...really like the Acura TL. It's has very aggressive body lines for a sedan. Oh, and check out the interior and the center console....simply beautiful.

Don't like the front of the first car, the bumper under the grill is just too big...

damn it looks great in production form at the rear 3 1/4 view.

I love the looks of it, and the interior is ACE!!!

However if I had to nit pick I would change the steering wheel to somthing more tasteful and I woulc change the front spoiler.

By the way, about the mechanincs, I hope its not front wheel drive!!!
And what kinda transmission we talking about? 5 Speed auto I am geussing.

Hope they bring it down to Australia!!! It looks great:)

Sorry but I hate the look of it, about the only thing that I do like is the interior in the first set of pictures. The rest just looks way too bulky and uninspiring, sorry...
