2009 RL

Weirdly I can live with the legionnaire's shield on the new RL.

In the rear I don't like the lip-like treatment on the trunk edge but otherwise its alright. Kind of generic though.

3.7L V6, 300hp/271tq.

Kind of crappy mileage at 16/22mpg US (14.7 / 10.7).

Interior looks unchanged I believe?

No idea about features but it looks like nothing more than a reskin + updated engine.

Now if only the new TL wasn't ugly....

You can't just have your characters announce how they feel.
That makes me feel angry!

That is exactly what it is.

The next generation should be coming in 2-3 years.
Rumors say A8/7 series/S class sizing with 300HP V6/ 400HP V8 options.

Hey Wetson, how do you like your TL? I'm in the final stages of leasing one. Thanks!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.  Not one complaint.  None zero.... It's a great car and I enjoy driving it every day.  Congrats! You're going to love it.  I'm VERY happy I got it.
