The new RL looks much sharper on the outside, and I don't miss its boring shape from the previous generation at all. I especially love the look of the instrument gauge cluster. Oooh, such pretty colors!

Just saw one in person today when I went by the dealership & I'm more impressed with it than seeing it in pics, especially the interior. Even the exterior looks quite good & has some presence & not like an Accord as some has suggested, but I like the exterior of the TL better though.

However, it's not significantly larger on the inside than the TL, & at Canadian$69,900, it's not easy to justify the price difference over the American-made TL at mid $40K.

Didn't have the chance to test drive it yet since their only demo is taken out by customers & I couldn't stay there & wait, but I'm eager to drive it soon to see how it feels & handle with it's SH-AWD.

Right on! Interior wood still looks cheesy, but the interior overall looks good.

That is quite the interior, and my ONLY gripe about it is maybe a different grain on the wood...?

The exterior isn't quite as nice to me as that of the TL, and even the TL is blending in now. They don't stick out to me when I see them on the streets at all, so I have a feeling the more bland RL will fit in for everyone except us car nuts.

That gauge cluster looks great but seems out of place in a conservative luxury sedan. It's sportiness
would be at home in a Corvette.

The interior is Ok, nothing special. Whats up with the huge metallic center console???? Looks like a boombox.

The exterior is ugly, especially the sideview.

Not feeling this car at all, especially for 50k.
