Second Press Conference of the 2008 Chicago Auto Show is Acura, who unveiled the all-new 2009 Acura RL. While not particularly attractive (looks like a BMW in the rear and has Subaru headlights,) we get an all-new 3.7L V6 engine producing more power, SH-AWD, and some fancy new features like traffic rerouting and weather on [...]
