Hello, Jason. I have been reading up on my Acura these days, and I think I can answer your question for you. As you most probably already know, the Acura RL is the Acura version of an executive-class car. Although the model has been around for years, it has gone through several changes. For the model year you want, I am sure that you will be excited enough to drive one.
First, we will go with the engine. The Acura RL of today boasts of a 3.7 Liter VTEC engine and even has SH-AWD, which is Acura’s take on the all-wheel drive system. This increases the car’s versatility on different road conditions. Even with that power on the engine, Acura made it possible to reduce emissions further. The paddle shift system in use with the Acura RL was also improved to reduce shifting time, and this should give the feel of immediate response from the car. The suspension has also been improved to give the Acura TL better handling. You should also notice that the 17” wheels from the previous model year were replaced with 18” alloy wheels. Passenger space was also given consideration and got a corresponding improvement along with noise reduction inside the cabin. Of course, being executive-class, you should have an executive feel inside the car. One more thing, with the noise reduction inside the cabin, you get to experience the awesome sound system on the Acura RL.
I guess those points should be enough and the rest should be part of your discovery when you get to test drive one around Texas.

Acura Vigor GS Houston Texas TX
Reader’s Question:
Acura has been highly recommended by a friend here in Houston, Texas and I am particularly interested in purchasing the Vigor GS. What is the exceptional feature of this model that will not make me think twice in owning this?

The Acura Vigor is definitely the type of automobile that tried so hard not to be tagged as luxurious, combining a lot of the finest features of a sports coupe and a touring sedan. This model boasts of several technical wonders particularly its 5-cylinder, 2.5-liter, 20-valve power plant that transmits an intense performance that its 4-cylinder sedans will have a hard time to tone with. But sorry to say that the Vigor GS does not get to the higher level of luxury sedans because its core is too little, inches short from the leading sedans in Houston, Texas have to offer.
But I’m sure that your expectations will be met by the outside features of the Acura Vigor GS. It has an unblemished fit-and-finish that complies with the celebrated Japanese custom. The back fenders and upswept trunk lid is the best part of its rear fashion approach. Efficient and stylish are the words that best describe the interiors of the Acura Vigor GS. Noticeable through the heavily protected steering wheel is a well-arranged instrument panel consists of the tachometer, speedometer, fuel and temperature gauges –every bit of them with white needles and graphics alongside a black background for utmost clearance.
