Talk:Acura RL

message: I enjoy the speculation on the page about what "RL" really means. I saw one of these the other day and I thought I was looking at a Accord or a new TL. Wow, what a boring car the RL is. Where does my $50K go? This car is outrageously priced for what it is given what the competition is offering, above all a V8 powerplant, and imposing looks, which is what moves cars in this segment.

thread_title:  RL=Really lame 

message: Why would you buy a car that's more like a "sleeper" type of vehicle if you were looking for more exciting car, “flashy” car. If you are looking to flash and make a statement you should of went with Lexus or BMW. This is a great car for people who want extremely comfortable luxury ride and benefits of NOT being noticed everywhere they drive. 
I love this car! Its build great, and reliability is amazing comparing to any car luxury brand out there. 
I would never again buy a flashy car, it is so shallow and all you do is showing off that “hey, look, I can afford to drive this car”. It is just a name game. 
Overall Review of RL: A good car for smart people who know how to get value for their money.
Hmm.. Here is some food for thought:
- an electromagnetic all-wheel drive system that can bias the torque left and right
- active noise cancellation
- DVD surround sound with XM
- 290 hp V-6 (double what some V-8's made not too long ago!)
- high quality leather and real wood
- Best in the industry navigation system with traffic alerts
Thats just to name a few. I smell troll.

thread_title:  To: RL=Really lame. You are really lame! 

message: I am pretty sure that this is a mid-size sedan ... especially since the other cars in its class (Lexus GS)is considered mid-sized. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 152.2.175.113 (talk • contribs).
:WP's own full-size car article states that to be fullsize, a car has to have a wheelbase of more than 110 in (Imperial measures here for you American guys). The RL has 110.5, so it's one of the smallest, but still a fullsize car. Bravada, talk - 00:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Full Size? 

message: The rationale for the merge request is that the standards adopted by WikiProject Automobiles specify that an article on a given model should be named the way the model is named in the home market. Acura Legend and Acura RL are American-market-only nameplates applied to the same car (made it the same factory) known elsewhere, including its "home" Japanese market, as Honda Legend. Therefore, it is only logical to have all the models and generations described as Honda Legend, with redirects and explanation of North American marketing.
Please also note that Honda Legend has already been marked as :Category:Executive cars. Acura RL has not been sold in Europe as such, so it generally cannot be labelled as an executive car, while the category would add it to the list of executive cars, creating the impression that both Legend and RL were sold in the markets where the "executive car" classification functions.
Regards, Bravada, talk - 09:34, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't worry, they will all be merged into the Honda, so you can remove the other tag, which is confusing. I just needed to leave some "grace period" for eventual protests or such, and I have to find time to reconcile everything :D Just a bit patience please - or do execute the merge yourself! Bravada, talk - 18:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge request 

message: I thought the 'Safety' part of the article was a little short, so I added in the RL's Collision mitigation Braking system in that section. And I am out! 
The safety part still seems a bit short, though =)

thread_title:  Collision Mitigation Braking System 

message: I do not believe the 2009 RL to be a third generation car but rather a mid model change (freshening) of the existing RL, as extensive as the freshening may be.  The upcoming 2011 model, scheduled to be introduced in late calendar 2010 is what I would use the third generation nomenclature for.
Chas2rl (talk) 02:10, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree; I think an image of the 2009 RL needs to be seen to confirm and then the new section can be removed.(Regushee (talk) 14:31, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

text: The production end date should remain as unknown because 2011 is absolute speculation. No one knows when the production end date is until Honda stops making the RL in its current form. No date should be displayed at all. (Regushee (talk) 04:45, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  2009 RL as Third Generation 

message: I removed two large sections recently added by Chas2rl.  These section were unencyclopedic and largely original research.  These section amount to user guides which are covered under WP:NOT.  Please discuss before reverting. --Leivick (talk) 22:27, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  removed content

message: The lists of color choices and options should be shortened or deleted altogether.  Wikipedia is not a sales brochure, and year-to-year color changes are not really of general reader interest. --Vossanova o< 21:28, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Excessive detail 

message: The Acura RL/RLX compares with the Lexus LS, not the GS. The TL goes with GS, the TSX with ES (the IS, too), and the ILX with HS. --166.137.208.30 (talk) 01:52, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Please provide a reference from a reliable source and it can be changed to mid-size. Bahooka (talk) 01:54, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mid-size luxury is NOT THE REAL CLASS! 

message: What they think it compares with: Lexus GS
What their friends and family think it compares with: Lexus ES
What the cops think it compares with: Ford Mustang
What Mr. Bean thinks it compares with: His Mini Cooper
What Will Smith thinks it compares with: Chevrolet Bel Air
What it really compares with: Lexus LS
See, that's right! Comparing an expensive flagship with a mid-size luxury car is like comparing apples with oranges. --2602:306:CDB2:4130:6CF3:9FE5:A395:E7AA (talk) 02:32, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Please identify where Motor Trend states the RL is mid-size, keeping in mind that "mid-level" is about pricing, not size. Bahooka (talk) 04:42, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Like I said, mid-level is about the price, not the size.  This Motor Trend quote does not support the change you keep trying to make. Bahooka (talk) 04:52, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

text: However, this reference from the U.S. Department of Energy states it is a mid-size for EPA purposes.  This is a much better source.  Before making a change to a long-standing version of an article, it would be interesting to see if there are any references to support its classification as a full-size auto and then compare the references.
