I think another ACURA model is going down (Just like BMW's 7)....

So many good things to copy from the 7-series and they pick the boot design. They probably put the CD-changer in there, too! Not to mention an I-Drive to control it.

Hey the rear end of the Acura looks like a Hyundai - you sure its not really a picture of the alleged Lexus fighter which Hyundai is trying to develop.

If its really the new Acura RL is just shows you that Acura is trying to show how BMW should have done the rear end of the 7 Series, but its unfortunate Acure, because Hyundai has already done the same thing, even on its cheaper models.

For f**ks sake, Acura - take a bigger risk!

I am tired of people complaining that the Japanese car companies are copying from the Germans. Let me pull your memories back a little. When Acura first released the CL coupe (2.3 &3.2CL) some years back, the rear end looked just like the new RL. Long before the new BMW 7 series design. So who is copying who?
People said the same thing when Lexus came out with the SC 430 forgetting that the first modern hard top convertable was made by Mitsubishi. The 3000GT hard top convertible spider long before Mercedes came out with the SLK.
I love the design of the RL and it suites it perfectly..Far better than the BMW 7 series.
