On the RL I say back to the future. The RL was better positioned as a front drive luxury car alternative to the LS Lexus. Yes - the original needed more power. So use the new V-6. An 8 or 10 cylinder engine with gas going sky high gives it in the same drawback of every big lux sedan. The new RL should have been three inches longer than the original with most of that space in the rear seat. A 300+ hp V-6 with a 7 speed trans and legitimate 28+ MPG, the bigger front seat of the original, a more open cabin (loose the huge console), a legit trunk like the original (the new one is smaller that a TL). In short a Real Luxury (RL) car with front drive, great power to weight ratio, and real world fuel economy. FINALLY - THE CAR SHOULD'NT REQUIRE THAT YOU READ THE BADGE TO DISTINGUISH IT FROM A TL. That car would sell.
