2009 Acura RL – Chicago Auto Show: Acura has officially unveiled the 2009 RL sedan, representing a thorough revisiting of its flagship sedan. The RL hasn’t exactly set the world on fire since its introduction in 2005, namely for its overly subdued styling. Acura kicked it up a notch with an MDX-inspired grille, new headlights and taillights, more power and torque and a rethinking or reworking of virtually every component and system in the vehicle. The new look is certainly aggressive, and with a bigger engine it has the chops to back it up.
