Wow! I can't believe it, they are so rare. What does it really compete with? 5 series (etc)? Volvo S80?

Silly person, you've bought a glitzed up Honda.

WHAT!!!!!!!11!!1!

THEY ONLY SOLD 37 OF THOSE LAST YEAR!!!!

It's one of the most expensive FWD cars on the market (only behind the ELR)

It doesn't really compete with the 5-series, but Acura would like to think so.

A friend of mine had an RLX he basically gave it away when he bought a Tesla. Almost gave it to me, but his wife made him give it to family.

Oh. That's too bad. I actually like the looks of the RLX, it's just that the competition blows it away.

It competes with the Kia Azera. Thats what it competes with.

I KNOW! IT'S INSANE. THERE IS ONE OTHER RLX IN MY AREA. IN BLACK. THAT IS 2 OUT OF THE 37.

I dont even know what that is.

Tom McParland > Victorious Secret

I'll take the Kia

PheeNoIVI > Alex B
05/01/2014 at 18:31

I like the looks. But I agree. Doesn't live up to its price tag as well as others. Maybe if it was RWD

HEY that's Hyundai Azera to you buddy!

Victorious Secret > Tom McParland

Me too. The value for what you pay is a little insane and Kia doesn't even pretend that the Azera does heavy duty, they know they have upcoming models to go against luxury models.

The Koreans figured this out in under a decade. Whats Hondas excuse?

Actually, judging by these RL sales figures (Acura started combining RL and RLX sales figures in May of last year), seeing the jump in sales figures since combining sales numbers with the RL shows that Acura sold way more than 37 of them last year.

In fact, the number is likely somewhere in the 4,000 to 4,500 range. And, they've already sold 1,531 combined so far this year, meaning somewhere between 1,100 and 1,300 RLXs.

Maybe. I here the Hybrid variation is the one to get.

Brian Silvestro > carcrasher88
05/01/2014 at 18:36

Maybe I read 37 in one month, either way it's awful.

WOW! IF THERE WERE THREE THEY COULD MAKE A TRIANGLE. THE ACURA LOGO MAKES A TRIANGLE. I THINK ACURA IS FUNDED BY THE ILLUMINATI.

They must be if they're still in business.

PheeNoIVI > Alex B
05/01/2014 at 18:38

Yeah probably is. More power and low end torque. And its awd

Alex B > PheeNoIVI
05/01/2014 at 18:41

I didn't know you could only get SH-AWD on the Hybrid. This is the Hybrid. It had an SH-AWD badge.

PheeNoIVI > Alex B
05/01/2014 at 18:45

Yeah that or the FWD. I don't know the pricing difference. But I don't see why you wouldn't go for the hybrid

it blows my fucking mind how honda can go from making like 5 cars everyone can't stop jizzing in their pants about in 99 to making total fucking garbage just 15 years later.

It really is depressing and tragic.

This is how I imagine Honda handles all their car ideas.

Nah I think they just sold their luxury beds, luxury towels, luxury coffee makers, etc.

It competes with the Lexus GS, and Infiniti Q's. If you want to call it that, it's not competing very well. Actually of the 3 I'd probably have the Acura, but for the money you could get a nice 3 series , starter 5 series, or C class.
