Since they’re calling it a new flagship, there is a higher chance that the RL name is being dropped (good for them). Bring back the Legend name.
Can’t wait! The new RL should be renamed as the legend but if the car is another flop it would ruin the Legend rep.. BUT! It could be good luck and fix everything!
I really hope Acura brings it this time. The RL ran me away from Acura based on the look. After all the redesigns of the RL it still looks like an high speed Honda Accord. Acura did so well with the Legend design, I reall hope they get it right with the all new 2013 flagship! Oh boy; if they do I’m headed straight to the dealership to get me one!
