V8 in the new Acura RL
By Busy Door Blogger | October 24, 2008
So found this post on a local board I visit about a new V8 going to be put into the Acura RL to compete with the other brands.
Here’s the quoted text:
Honda’s CEO Takeo Fukui has confirmed that Honda is finally going to launch its first V8 engine for the Acura brand. Although gas prices have killed vehicles that don’t get great gas mileage, luxury buyers still demand it. Acura’s sales are down 15.3 percent so far this year, so Acura needs something to bring in new buyers.
“I don’t think that the Acura RL 3.7-liter is sufficient. We can’t compete with other premium brands,” said Fukui.
I love it. Raw power in an Acura! (or Honda for you JDM’ers). Oh and it will be rear wheel drive
