Why not put real passion into making a truly inspiring design? Why not push the team not just make something that "works" but something that truly puts Acura in the top position in terms of design and craft? Why spend so much money on something that has nothing remarkable about the car? I mean there is maybe one or two lines in the car that are okay. But there is nothing to see. It's just a dressed up Accord.

All RLs, and the Legends before it have been dressed up Accords.
Nothing remarkable? 370+ HP, 449 lbft of torque? 30mpg everywhere? That isn't anything to you?

And really, what large luxury sedan can be said to be remarkable? None. Not the S-Class, not the 7 series, not the LS, not the upcoming Equus.
