I have to say that I agree
I have to say that I agree with your assessment of the RLX. In my 40+ years of driving, I've owned everything from Alfa Romeo to Plymouth. My last car was a '04 TL and I like my Acura dealer so when I needed a car in May, I ended up with a black on black RLX Advance. Since there have been some so-so reviews and Consumer Reports didn't recommend the car, I got a pretty good discount on the car. I ended up getting a price reduction of about $13k from MSRP. I think others have done better, but the area I live in (DC metropolitan area) doesn't seem to have really good deals available compared to some other parts of the country. The TLX wasn't out yet, but the price I paid wasn't much more than I could get a TLX Advance for now. I have to say that I love this car and don't regret my decision to buy one. The acceleration, ride and handling suit me very well and the torque steer seems pretty much nonexistent to me, especially compared to my old TL, which I really liked also. I love the Krell stereo. I didn't think the sound system would matter to me, but now I notice the flaws in other systems. I've driven the car about 5K miles and haven't had any issues. Fit and finish are excellent. The DC area is noted for its traffic jams but I really don't mind them as much now.
