The German car the Japs got right.
Got to drive an Acura RL today. I must say wow. The interior is on par with Audi's, in the new A6. It basically has all the technology, and more, that the German cars have, but it's easier to use, and being a Honda, it works! The car handles extremely well, the pedal is very firm, and the steering very nice, if not a little bit aloof at higher cornering speeds. I didn't really get to push it hard due to alot of cops in the area, and the car they had wasn't a dealers car, so I couldn't floor it off the bat (only had like 40 miles on it). The looks are understated Pheaton, and a bit of the rear is molded like the 7-series, but actually looks good, and fits. All-in-all this car is equal to, if not better than the Audi A6, BMW 5-er, and Mercedes E-class. It's the German the Japs got right.
Edit: The only problems I had with it were that A) It doesn't come in 6-speed manual, and B) the Shift paddles are on the wheel, and not on the steering column. But then thats nitpicking, this car is absolutley amazing.
