Built as Acura’s sporting luxury sedan, the RL is lacking only in sportiness and luxury. At least they got the number of doors right. Although the engine produces an adequate amount of power and the AWD system is performance-oriented, the sporty feel is ruined by the total lack of feel from the steering, suspension or even speed. The bland looks, both inside and out, make the RL almost completely forgettable. Combine that with a Nav system that is far worse than what most of the competition offers and you start to see the problem, the RL is a good car among great ones.
