Honda in Japan has announced that the Acura RL “still sold as the Legend there” will get a refresh for the 2012 Acura RL model year that includes a new 6-speed automatic transmission. This may help the 2012 Acura RL pick up a few extra buyers as the added gear should help improve both fuel economy and acceleration. Then again, perhaps its just a bigger sign of how irrelevant the 2012 Acura RL is when the supposed luxury car is only now getting a 6-speed transmission.
