My Take: The 09 RL seems to have gotten the TSX/TL nose job as well. Eww. If you are looking to lease this car, it seems to be a much better lease at the base level trim. If you haven’t noticed yet, Honda/Acura tends to give much lower residual values for the cars containing the Tech package. The logic, at least on my part, is that technology depreciates fast and that lowers the residual value for tech packages found accross all of Honda/Acura’s cars seems to reflect that. This isn’t exactly the explanation Honda/Acura will give you, but at the very least, it seems to make sense. With that said, the RL has lease support for the 09 model, so it may be worth a look. Check THE LIST to compare it’s payments with other models.
