2009 Acura RL Technology Package
The Acura RL is the flagship car of Honda’s North American luxury brand Acura. The current second-generation RL is a rebadged version of the fourth-generation Honda Legend and was introduced into the North American market in September 2004 as a 2005 model. The first-generation RL was a similarly rebadged version of the third-generation Honda Legend, and was first introduced into the North American market in 1996 to replace the second-generation Acura Legend.
The Acura RL is similar in size to the Infiniti M45 and then Lexus GS, and is in the executive car class that includes the BMW 5 series, Audi A6, and Mercedes-Benz E-class.
All Acura RLs are built in Saitama, Japan in the same factory that produces the Honda Legend. Current (2008) news and rumors indicate that the third-generation RL will be introduced in late calendar year 2010 as a 2011 model and may receive aV8 engine.
