The Acura RL is considered the premium car for luxury automobile producer Acura. The first version of the Acura RL is very similar to the Honda Legend, which is sold in Japan. The 4th generation Acura RL was rumored to contain a roaring V-8 engine as well as rear wheel drive. Unfortunately, the economic slope of 2008 caused this project to be shelved prematurely.

The first generation Acura RL was meant as a replacement for the Acura Legend, and premiered in early 2006. Research had shown that consumers associated Acura products my their model name, and not by the brand name, Acura, itself. They decided to replace these names in future models with shorter, alphanumeric names, ergo the RL or RSX. When the first Acura RL came off production lines, it was expected to provide Lexus with a run for it's money. It quickly fell short of these expectations.

The engineers at Acura learned from there mistakes, but it was a slow, constant process. The 1999 release featured a changed body design along with HID headlights, restructured foglights, , and redesigned front and rear bumpers. The chassis and suspension were given an overhaul, and passenger and driver airbags were included to increase safety standards. After three years, the Acura RL finally seemed to be making headway in sales.

The dawn of the new millennium brought with it a sack load of technical upgrades for the Acura RL, including a bigger screen for the navigation system and a conversion for DVD based mapping databases. 2002 introduced re-envisioned alloy rims and more functional mudflaps. It was also the year that gave it a new suspension set up. The most important upgrade for the Acura RL in 2002 was the engine capability, which could now put out an impressive 225hp. The Acura RL has continued to evolve from then up til 2008, and remains an impressive vehicle.
