The production version of the Acura RLX will be presented at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show. The concept vehicle was first seen at the 2012 New York Auto Show. A direct-injected 3.5-liter V6 engine will power the RLX, producing about 370 hp. It is coupled with Honda’s SH-AWD system that features three different electric motors. One of the motors works together with the V6 engine as a conventional hybrid drive, while the rear wheels are powered by the two other motors. With the two electric motors, the power can be shifted from left to right in the rear to assist the car in rotating. This setup will be coupled with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that enables the RLX have fuel economy ratings of about 30 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. The RLX has a combined 30 mpg rating. A non hybrid setup will be available as well. It can deliver around 310 hp. The RLX has an 8-inch display screen and a seven-inch touch screen that makes use of the newest AcuraLink system with features like stolen vehicle tracking.

yeah the point is they come out with a concept vehicle that's supposed to push forth the brand into a new "era" so to speak, and the unveil this shyt.

it's horrible. looks like an old TL with a "made in china" body-kit and some wheels taken from the wal-mart hubcap aisle.

NEW ERA
Why they stay having a flagship car without a V8 is baffling.

it always confuses me when a company is so out of touch with the market and competition.

the RL is supposed to rival the LS, M-line (infiniti), E-class, etc...yet all those cars are so far better than the RL in EVERY SINGLE ASPECT yet they release the same lackluster product thats missing key features that its rivals sport. shyt is baffling

cancel the RL and bring a damn 2-door back to the Acura brand got dammit. i remember when they canceled the RSX talmbout "its a dying market" or some trash like that...and then they release the ZDX :why::dead:

i still dont even know what to classify the ZDX as...and its only competitor, the BMW X6 shyts on it

they needa fire the lead designer and marketing and research staff. dead ass

Honda has been fukking up for a solid amount of time now. It's like they hated being associated with a younger crowd and have done everything possible to distance themselves from that while at the same time not committing the money needed to compete with the other luxury brands.

Cancelled the RSX :dead:
Released a full-size truck available with only a V6 :dead:
Decided on the single ugliest brand wide design. That new grill looks like the autobots logo. :dead:
Paid Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfield to appear in a commercial for the new NSX which won't drop until 2015 (if at all) :dead:
Developed a NSX convertible for Avengers with absolutely no word on whether that will ever exist :dead:
And worst of all, they've lost the absolute stranglehold the Civic had younger car owners.
Not to mention bringing that dumbass Acura Civic down from the Canadian market.

So soon no more TSX which is the best current Acura in my opinion because they say it's taking away sales from the TL........and why the hell did they give us the souped up Honda Civic in the ILX?

IMO I like the current RL, thing is it's too overpriced for the brand and they don't sell enough of them cause of it. whose going to buy a rebadged Honda, when they have alternatives from the likes of Infiniti, Lexus, Audi, BMW, and Merc for the same price?
