Hehe...funny you should say that. Went to put some gas in the Acura this evening, popped open the fuel door, and what do we have here molded into the fuel cap? The good, old Honda "H" logo.

I totally agree with you about it looking like a Honda. I see it as a Super-Accord. Looks like an Accord on steroids. Drives like one, too. It's not flashy at all, which I like. And it has more room, luxury and toys in it compared to most of the other cars I drove. I'm slowly falling under its spell.

For the record, the RL @ 80mph is turning just over 2000rpm. At 100mph, just over 3000rpm. Nice. It's a quiet car, and seems ideal for long-distance driving. Transmission is opposite the G in that it is geared on the high side. Not much torque, you gotta rev it for good acceleration. Brakes seem good, though pedal feel is on the soft side compared to the Audi & G35x. Steering feel is typically Japanese...fairly numb with little road feel. Suspension nowhere near as firm and sporty as the G. Give it the G35's engine and suspension, the Audi's steering, the BMW's brakes, the 300C's trunk space, the Honda Accord Hybrid's fuel economy, and the final decision would be simple...
