I don't think this is going to be the MMC model. It will be the total redesign model for 2010.

This is more like the next TL than the 2010 RL considering the size of it.

If it is the RL, it is a really good flagship car for Acura's image.

Good Goly that is GORGEOUS!

My only concern is that there is talk of nissan doing the 4 door skyline.

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/18/nissan-considering-four-door-gt-r-for-infiniti/

it would also be around $70K so i dont think it would look good on Acura to have 420HP and Infinity 480HP (unless their sedan is de-tuned a little)

either way, if this comes out I would pick the Acura over the Infiniti. Especially if it looks like it does in that pic!

But will everyone think that way??

Carlos Ghosn has said they are not considering a 4 door Infiniti GT-R variant

I love the idea that the specs are right on for this new RL. I hope like hell it jumps to 7series/S class territory. Maybe bulk up the platform to actually hold adults in comfort, dare I say full luxury while riding in the rear. That's a flagship for a luxury car company. At least that's what the rest of that segment seem to offer. Honda has never seemed to shy away from adopting the best idea's no matter the source. Having said that, I wish they would just make an Acura clone of the LS (styling included). I would like to see Acura sync their product line with the existing market, and then actually get back in the game. Produce vehicles that compete squarely with their competition. imao

I really loved the early/mid 90's front end of what was then referred to as the Legend. It said luxury. It had a grill. The current Acura/Honda products appear to be having a front end design issue. What happened to giving cars and trucks real grills?

Don't get me wrong, I love my Ridgeline and started drooling when I read about this new V8. I'm very excited about what this might mean for multiple Honda/Acura vehicles, I just hope they package it right with regard to the new Acura flagship.
