The RL and GS brakes look tons better than the M35/45, which look puny, especially since that car is so tall and it has 19" wheels as an option.

Porsche has everyone putting their names on calipers . I would prefer it to just be one color without the Acura name. What size is it?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the M35/M45 uses floating calipers. Really disappointing considering this is the new age of luxury. It's just one of those cheaper items to buy for the manufacturer to save money.

is acura still trying to sell a midsize lux sedan at full size flagship price ?

the RL is at most the equivalent to the TL, that's the way people see it and that's the price they will pay for it.

No. Acura is selling it at a midsize luxury sedan price. It's priced within the Infinit M-series, Lexus GS, Mercedes E-class, and BMW 5-series. Flagship price would be around $65k
