2007 Acura RL Elite Road Test

Few deserving cars in the industry have ever flown so far below the radar as the Acura RL has. The Legend, the predecessor to the RL, had a fairly good run between 1986 and 1995. Throughout its career, the RL has stood alone in the shadow since 1996 when it first appeared on the scene. In substance, the 3.5RL had all the necessary goodies: a 210 hp V6, opulence, luxury and a comfortable ride. By 1999, the RL received many physical enhancements in the form of new bumpers, headlights and trim. The revised car enjoyed some success thanks to its more self-assured look. Up until 2004, numerous other improvements were introduced but nothing could slow decreasing sale figures.
