Click to enlarge. 2005 Acura RL The 2005 Acura RL, though technically introduced as a concept car, will debut later this year pretty much as is but without those flashy 20-inch wheels. It's high time that Acura built a flagship vehicle that gets the juices flowing. While the current RL is a nice enough car, its bland appearance and middling specs left it far behind in the hotly contested midsize luxury sedan arena populated by the likes of the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes E-Class, both completely redesigned in the past couple of years. The next editions of the Audi A6, Cadillac STS, Infiniti M45, and Lexus GS are also slated to be released within the next year or so, further raising the stakes.

Acura has some catching up to do, and with the redesigned 2005 Acura RL, they may be on their way.
