The problem is...it is an Acura. The current RL was bashed for being too much like a Honda.

If it looks larger and more expensive than an Accord, and has the required extra interior room for a luxury sedan, it will be received better than the RL.

The failure of the RL was size. It was essentially the same size as an Accord exterior, except it was 400-500 lbs heavier and had less interior room and trunk space. The RL had about one inch less rear leg room. Luxury car buyers actually do care about the back seat, because one of the many motivations for buying such a car is that you expect to impress other people when you transport them.
