Looks like a Honda, a RSX, and a TL Got into a orgy.

I like it, I would die to have interior like that in my car. I like the relatively long front end compared to the short back end and with a 300+ hp motor and all wheel drive in a foor door car. Can someone say sleeper. I would definately buy that car if I had the money.

i would want that car too i mean its nice on the interior and exterior and the leather looks real comfortable and the greeting on the dash is pretty cool too and the blue gauges and its a good sedan too so you really dont need to worry about space like in a coupe and i think Acura is really updating their cars from the TL i think its got 270 the NSX has the 290 and this has got the 300 and also an AWD system thats like a Skyline in basic specs except for the Skyline has a I6 twin turbo and this has a V6 but that is alot of power from a V6

OMG look at that interior...is beautiful!!!! :shock: although the exterior doesn't look Acura at all...

that better come in manual or else the awd is wasted. i would love to do 7 grand clutch dump on that :mrgreen:

according to the source...
"Inside, the RL Prototype is as luxurious as it is sporty. The interior features rich leather, genuine wood trim, an assortment of leading-edge technology and, for the first time in a North American vehicle, standard real time traffic information integrated into a new in-car satellite-based navigation system featuring AcuraLink(TM). Utilizing the XM NavTraffic service beamed from XM's satellites, the RL Prototype's 8-inch navigation screen can display a variety of up-to-the-minute traffic information where available including flow (traffic speed), accidents, and construction on freeways in 20 major metro areas including Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. Flow and accident information are updated continuously, allowing drivers to take the least congested route to their destination.

In addition to enabling the real time traffic feature, the AcuraLink Satellite-Based Communication System allows for communication between Acura and the vehicle, providing customers with the latest diagnostic information specific to their vehicle as well as vehicle-related messages. Because it is linked to the car's HandsFreeLink(TM) wireless telephone interface, drivers can respond to messages or one-touch-dial Acura dealers and Acura Roadside Assistance (TLC) using their Bluetooth phone."
IMO its cool to have your car connected to the cellphone with the bluetooth...
