Bottomline The 2008 Acura RL is a fine luxury sedan, but others offer V-8 power and more distinct styling. The 2008 Audi A6 has plenty of competition, but its graceful look and feel set it apart from more brutal German and more clinical Japanese iron. The 2008 BMW 5-Series Sports Wagon is a great alternative to an SUV for those who prefer to drive enthusiastically.
