Default What do the suffixes on the Acura cars mean?
Like 3.5 RL, and 3.2 CL. I drive an RL and I always wondered what the last 2 letters stood for. My friend said RL=Royal Luxury, TL=True Luxury, CL=Contemporary Luxury. But IDK about my friends explanation.

They don't necessarily mean anything, but here are some ideas:RL = Road Luxury / Replaces Legend. (Legend is an Acura model name in Japan) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acura_RLTL = Touring Luxury (luxury touring car) / True LuxuryCL = Contemporary luxury / Coupe Luxury (luxury coupe)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acura_CL

I'll see if I can find out. Dude! I have no idea! I suppose your friend may be right, however.

The Letter designation really have arbitrary meaning. It is just away to distinguish Acura from Honda. Oversea all acura are Honda models. So Acura as a product line is an artificial solution to distinguish high end Honda's from low end ones.
