2012 Acura RL

                            2012 Acura RL

Base Price: $48,500 (est)
Body Type: Sedan
What's New: The RL adds new paint colors. The 6A that was new last year is still mated to a 3.7L V-6 producing 300 hp. Built on an aging platform and with no V-8 planned, the RL currently has little to offer against its competition aside from Acura's special all-wheel drive and an exclusivity factor-Acura sold just over 2000 RLs in 2010.
Look For: A new model in the next couple years that might make the RL more relevant.
Sum Up: No pretense, but also no prestige.
