When Honda took almost ten years to change the previous RL they should of already had a V8 in the works. When the RL came out in 05 it should of had both engine options but Honda always wants to do stuff the hard way. I love Hondas but they need to get with the program, by already being the under dog to Lexus and Infiniti they need to see what they offer and one up them by offering more power, options for a cheaper price. Its going to be hard for Acura to try and dethrone Lexus.
