  Acura TL Community - TL vs RL Think twice   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The RL is a true Luxury car and has very solid construction and is heavily under-rated in the market place since it competes in a segment that demands Rear-wheel-drive and a V8.
The RL soldiers on with a V6 and Front-wheel-drive (along with a 4-speed transmission) which is a no-no in that segment.
The new RL that is coming in is supposed to have a RWD/AWD configuration and has a V8 along with a 5-speed/6-speed automatic transmission.....which is why I believe the current RL may be un-loaded by Acura dealers at a heavy discount....

 Acura RL vs. Acura TL - CarSpace Automotive Forums
The RL is made in Japan, and imo is made with higher quality materials, and has a much more luxurious look and feel to it, especially the interior.
Even when the RL "wins" over the TL in the luxury amenity and do-dad comparison (as in your case) or the MDX "wins" over the Pilot (as in our case), it still dissapoints me that Acura as a company appears hesitant to reach for more unique and loftier goals.
With Acura's positioning of the RL vs. TL is that the TL is not only more of a driver's car, with comparable luxury amenities, but it is nearly the same size as the RL.

 JS Online: 2002 Acura 3.5 RL review
The 2002 model of Acura's 3.5 RL four-door luxury sedan is a victim of sibling rivalry.
But the TL is lighter, quicker, costs less, gets better fuel economy and offers many of the same features as the RL, including the optional Acura navigation system.
Inside, the RL has a solid quality look and feel, but comes across more like a very nice mid-sized family sedan than a luxury car, despite the woodgrain accents, leather upholstery and precision treatments of instruments and controls.

The forged crankshaft of the RL is similar to that of the MDX, but with revised counterweights to accommodate the weight of higher compression pistons.
The 2005 RL uses a new dual-stage intake manifold that is designed to deliver maximum airflow, and accounts for 15 percent of the horsepower (out of 75 horsepower total) gained over the previous-generation 3.5 RL.
Positioned at the front of the RL rear drive unit, the Acceleration device typically passes torque rearward to the rear axle at very close to a one-to-one ratio.

 Acura RL- A rare flop - AutoSpies Auto News
The TL performance luxury sedan was the top-selling model, with sales of 7,032 units, up 6.1 percent over last year and leading Acura to its fourth best total car sales month ever.
After driving an RL the things I disliked most about it were the sluggish feel in the steering, brakes and throttle and the rough ride quality.
The RL great attributes (some of which are present in each of the others) the sum of which I thought was best expressed in the RL.

 Acura RL Community - From TL to RL....   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The RL is not for anyone who is looking for straight line performance, razor sharp handling and who likes to modify his/her car.
I hesitate to say that the RL is an "old man's" car but I would say it is for someone who is over the performance/modification fever that affects many of us when we are in our early,mid, or late twenties.
As I researched gooing from my TL to the RL, I heard a lot of "the RL is boring" comments.

RL is a great car but as I think it's plain looks are hurting the sales for sure and maybe the performance to some extent also.
The RL is a good car, extremely competent but a little boring and frankly a few mistakes like that passenger seat that does not adjust enough and smallish wheels for this segment.
The RL, on the other hand, is generally for baby-boomer technophiles and the few Generation X techie cohorts who can afford a $50K car.

If the rl oil pump is recessed to accomadate the crank gear to allow it to align with the cam gears; then that expensive crank is useless.
another unknown answer to several questions is, if the rl cam gears, and crank gear work on the 6 spd motor, will the rl tensioner bolt up to the cl oil pump, can I use the cl tensioner with the rl gears and belt, there are more questions.
RL cams are solid same as CL-S. Not sure on material they made of.

 Latest on the next TL and RL - Honda-Acura.net
After receiving a mild refresh in 2002, the TL is expected to get a full redesign for the 2004 model year.
If they make it bigger, that tells me that the TL will become a luxurious model like the ES300 and the TSX will fight it out with the 3 series and IS300...but every single mag is gonna call it a dressed up Accord unless they do something special with it.
I'd expect to see the TL moving between (but more towards the lower end than the higher end) the ES and GS/C and E/3 and 5/A4 and A6 and the TSX moving to the base of the lower end models of each manufacturer, so like the 9-3, A4 1.8T, S40...ya'll get the idea.

 Acura TSX Community - TSX vs TL
You feel like you are driving a small easy to maneuver car whereas with the TL it feels bulkier (and it is) and without the a-spec suspension is not much of a competitor to the TSX in terms of handling.
The TL is FWD because it is based on the U.S. Accord platform thus Honda can keep costs down as opposed to reengineering a new RWD platform.
The RL will of course have its share of problems, especially seeing as how it is the first year model.

 Acura RL Community - Leasing an RL
My dad had been looking into a TL before he just got his MDX and none of the least rates were anywhere near that good unless you were shelling out like $8K up front.
Maybe I'll keep my current vehicle, purchase the RL and when 8 months are left...trade the TL for a TSX.
I guess all my calling around has finally paid off, when the dealer where I purchased my RL found out I was looking into purchasing from a rival dealer, they decided that I could get out of my lease without taking the big hit I was afraid I was going to have to take.

 AI :: Forums -> 2004 Rl
I think that if the RL wants to be a prime competitor they gotta up on the horses.
But the tl is not as much of a car as the legend was, though i do recognize the price difference, the over all quality to me is not what i expected.
Furthermore, in order to compete, the tl needs a 6 speed, possibly more aggresive tires, rear wheel or all wheel drive, carbon fiber interior touches???, a factory upgrade underbody package that doesn't overlap on the front and rear bumpers, but rather be a totally different bumper all together.

 Acura CL Community - This is what the Acura lineup should look like.
Also, I know the RL needs RWD and a V8 to compete, but I think Honda is against building V8s.
And most probably, the RL and NSX will come out at least 1.5 years before any CL/Honda CL cars based on that same platform simply because there are no rumors for them, plus Acura is too busy with that RL and NSX and above all the new Accord/TL cars.
The TL needs a manny and Acura needs to offer different wheel/tire packages,as well as, different options than they currently offer.

 AcuraZine Community - Acura RL + Acura TL in Edmunds Top 10 Sound Systems!
Worlds ahead of the old RL in both driving dynamics and technology, the 2005 model features a standard 5.1 surround sound Bose system that provides real six-channel playback for DVD Audio (DVD-A) discs and has software that mimics surround sound for traditional CDs.
The stereo also uses noise canceling technology to filter out excess wind or road noise (of which there is very little to begin with), and this feature works whether or not the stereo is turned on.
Although smaller and less expensive than the RL, the TL also comes standard with 5.1 surround sound, in this case, a Panasonic system developed with the help of Elliot Scheiner, a Grammy-winning music producer who has worked with Sting, Queen and the Eagles.
