REVIEWS

Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com

"...the RL has enough high-tech gadgetry and premium luxury features to satisfy most customers, not to mention an excellent repair history and attractive window sticker."

"If you're a technology junkie, the 2008 RL showcases the latest automotive high-tech gadgetry in an attractive package that is both user-friendly and semi-intuitive. Drivers who prefer razor-sharp handling to straight-line performance will love the RL's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD)."

"Inside the RL, wood trim combines with perforated leather to create an interior befitting the car's sport-luxury disposition."
