2011 Acura RL SH-AWD view

fine, as ever. It's straightforward to neglect what an amiable auto the RL is to head —as buyers seemingly do on a predictable premise —until you slide once more into it. The characteristically suctioned 3.7-liter V-6 (creating 300 hp at 6300 rpm and 271 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm) pulls with zest and remains smooth the considerable distance to its 6800-rpm redline, the last an unwavering quality of Honda's motors. Acura asserts the six-speed programmed's auxiliary ratio permits the RL to hit 60 about 0.5 second speedier than heretofore, while growing 1 mpg in the urban area and 2 on the expressway. For reference, the 2011 is rated at 17/24 mpg, and we tested a 2009 RL to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds.
