Re: Looking for new "Family" car Acura RL vs M35

Favorably impressed with the roominess and level of trim, and assume from my close exam of an M45 at a local mall event that there are no issues with the luxury items, though, from recent reviews the VQ motor has lost some of it's original silkiness when rated at 260 bhp compared to new iteration at 300+. My previous experience with Honda/Acura (CRX and G-2 Integra's) would lead me to believe their product to be less boring than the luxo products from Toyota and Nissan. Plus, although rated as "bland" etc, by the magazine guys, I like the RL's styling and tight look.
