People who say this is a dressed up Accord, it's not. I've ridden in lots of the new Accords as well as two different RLX's. The RLX is a true luxury car. It's fairly close to the 2010 Mercedes S550 I rode in. And that's saying something. These are extremely nice cars. I'm only 22 but want to test drive an RLX now. Maybe around my birthday, December 25. September 5, 2015 4:29 am

@@davidmiletic6647 I didn't buy one lol, sometimes I test drive cars because I want to experience them. But as for how it was to drive, felt sort of like a half step between a TLX and a modernized Lincoln Town Car - quieter and more isolated from the road than the TLX. February 6, 2024 1:36 pm

Don't care what anyone else say, those headlights and taillights are baddass...! They look great, especially on black for me.... If u like it, buy one.. I sure will...!

@MeLikeNike 9 лет назад

While I agree Acura has struggled a bit to find its place as a luxury brand.. there is no doubt that they make absolutely reliable and superb vehicles. This RLX is very, very nice. Just about everything in there is soft touch it seems and those sun shades are a nice touch.

@regan8372 10 лет назад

I know Acura is struggling, but people saying that they should stop making cars and Honda should pull the plug on Acura is absurd! Acura still sells a lot of cars, and with new models on the way it's only going to get better.

AGREED!!

@senorgato70 9 лет назад

I believe this car is grossly underrated. Maybe it's the design. But it's a well-made, good-performing, spacious, luxurious car. it's unfortunate that it appears Acura is only offering Ebony and Seacoast colored interiors, so this white-ish interior (which is my favorite) is not available.

@hitechburg 8 лет назад

There are 3 interior colors EBONY SEACOAST and GREYSTONE

@MrTblackmon 9 лет назад

I did not notice how nice this Acura is until you have shown that modest night clip shots of this car and it is very precise. The door handles illuminate to give the overall ability of the car a nice look at night and not to mention the LEDs so beautifully lit and bright. What a nice review on a nice car.

@theragingsallymander6534 4 года назад

Man very nice video. Quick and to the point. No talking, opinions or BS. This is pretty much want I want to see. It’s like going for a virtual test drive. Good Job. Looking forward to more.

to all the folks who say they want the lexus gs the acura rl/rlx is more like the lexus ls just go out and drive them and you will so the gs is more like the lexus IS. the lexus LS is nice but costs more.

@LonerKyosuke 11 лет назад

Love the review. Nice to see every nook and cranny of the RLX. Acura definitely did a good job with the interior while going with their current corporate look, though the exterior could use some revisions on certain lines.

I second this. Nice video!

Alot of people must forget that this car will be a badass with that sport hybrid system. And despite all the criticism this car gets, it will always be better than a cadenza or Taurus, from previous comments.

Bad roads and sensitive mic is my guess. One of the good things about the RLX is that it is a bank vault of silence, according to the reviews I've read.

I agree with some of the comments i'm hearing on the price, Acura need to start at 40 grand base to be more competitive in this segment i like the car but i will not pay 48grand for a base i will buy the TL fully loaded instead,

@jsiszero 11 лет назад

This car is soo quiet until the VTEC kicks in, yo.

@77rxpharmacy 11 лет назад

In every car video I read comments about simply getting the best value for their money. And I certainly am one of those people depending on what I'm shopping for.But when it comes to cars exceeding 60K dollars you are most likely in the 6 figure income class (if not please re-evaluate how you spend your money). Having said this it's my contention that you have to go with the car you personally like. You will not miss the money if you're satisfied w/ the purchase even if your car is not the best.

@Stslu57 10 лет назад

It's really expensive but if you get a Mercedes or bmw you would end up paying for parts that's worth allot sip might as well pay 50 grand and use it for at least 20 years so I say it's worth it

@KhrissyDaDon 11 лет назад

Acura has not changed a bit to me,, they're just following in the footsteps of their competitions from Cadillac, Buick, Lexus and Infiniti... the RLX is meant to compete with it's front-wheel drive competitions like the Lacrosse, XTS, ES350 and soon to M (from Infiniti). If want sporty luxury from these brands go with their sporty models like the TL, GS350, CTS, G(now Q50), and Regal!

@05Forenza 11 лет назад

It sounds like theres too much road noise for a car in that category. I know Acura generally goes for the sportier side, but the RLX will never be "Sporty" lol. I would assume that a 5 series or E Class are quieter.

@DMaster27 11 лет назад

Since this was the advanced, should have show off some of its self driving capabilities.

@pilotnicco 11 лет назад

You're right. Lexus is a brand that produces cat food. Good thing you reminded me. Also, you have no proof that my statement is false. You just say it is. I have a friend who worked as a tech for Lexus as well as a tech for Acura, and he would always complain about how the Lexus's had cracked engine blocks, and many of the parts that they were replacing on the cars, were stamped parts from China. At Acura, non of this exists. Also, it's a FACT that Acura has less issues then Lexus.

@Kprawl291986 11 лет назад

You know what I think cars like Acura and Lexus should stick to the future design, but lately I have check out the Mercedes Benz new S-Class and it seems like they have disappointed me with the revolution looks instead of the classic s-class looks. Thous far I think Jaguar, BMW, Audi, Lexus, as the best designs

@weirdshibainu 11 лет назад

@NikoBell12 11 лет назад

@incyphe 11 лет назад

This would be a nice buy with $5k lopped off from its base price. $48k is too rich and too close to GS pricing.

No AWD gas power version either! Who want a hybrid that has lithium battery pack; 2 electric motors that is front wheel drive base AWD model. Acura need to go back to having an AWD - front wheel gas only model. Acura you are out of your mind to intro such a car and leave a big gap for people who want a AWD regular car. Nobody wants a FWD only in a luxury sedan.

@MRFUCKOFF202 11 лет назад

You have one example. This is known as a severe lack of population validity and would be laughed at as an experiment. Many parts of many things are made in China. You have also just done what you had a go at me for doing. According to Whatcar?'s brand reliability ranking of 2012, Honda was 1st with 10% failure rate, Toyota & Lexus were 2nd and 3rd with approx 17%. I am not debating that Honda/Acura are reliable. But the fact you say Toyota/Lexus are "shitty-ass" unreliable is an absolute joke!

@bokkey45 10 лет назад

this is literally an accord with a few more interior leather accents thrown around. it has the same infotainment, the same interior layout, same EXACT exterior side mirrors, similar gauges, steering wheel, signal stalks, etc. Why would you pay 60 grand for one of these when you can just get an accord V6 with identical bells and whistles. acura by far has to be the lamest "luxury" car company out there, all they do is take hondas and dress them up a little. I mean think about it. They are all FWD and almost every acura product utilizes the same 4 cylinder motor and powertrain used in honda products...I never understood why Acura's cost upwards of 30 grand when they are essentially hondas underneath.

@ReplecementLensXprss 9 лет назад

Go ahead and drive the two to compare, Then you will see why you would be willing to pay more....

@blakestone75 9 лет назад

Lincolns are Fords underneath, Lexuses are Toyotas underneath. Infinities are Nissans. Cadilacs are Chevys. Audis are Volkswagons. Its the normal workings of the auto industry. Have a few platforms, several vehicles built off any given platform, some luxury, some cheap. Make more $$$ on the luxury, make less on the cheap. Hopefully when all is said and done they've turned a profit.

@bokkey45 9 лет назад

Yes but Lexus does an extremely good job at differentiating themselves from Toyota. I sat in a few Lexus's at the auto show last year, and I was extremely impressed. They had just an extreme feeling of solidity and quality. If I didn't have any background knowledge on Lexus, I would have never guessed it was made by Toyota. But when I sat in the Acura's, they all literally felt like my family's 2013 Honda Accord. The TL, TSX, RLX..they all had that same Accord feeling inside. Like the interior was practically identical. You could easily tell it was an Accord with one or two extra bells and whistles tacked on, just by sitting inside it. The thing about Acura is they really don't have a whole lot to offer that Honda doesn't already. That's my big gripe with Acura. Where is the luxury. What do they bring to the table.

@ReplecementLensXprss 9 лет назад

And people like you should buy them and spend the money!
