The '''Acura RL''' is a [[mid-size]] [[luxury car]] that was manufactured by the [[Acura]] division of [[Honda]] for the 1996–2012 [[model year]]s over two generations. The RL was the [[flagship]] of the marque, having succeeded the [[Acura Legend]], and was replaced in 2013 by the [[Acura RLX]]. All models of the Legend, RL and RLX lines have been adapted from the [[Japanese domestic market]] [[Honda Legend]]. The model name "RL" is an abbreviation for "Refined Luxury."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hondanews.com/categories/755/releases/4413 |title=Acura Media Newsroom: 2009 Acura RL - Introduction |publisher=Hondanews.com |access-date=2010-10-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090729062824/http://hondanews.com/categories/755/releases/4413 |archive-date=2009-07-29 }}</ref>
