honda needs to just stop trying to expand it's luxury line and focus on what it does best: economical, reliable and affordable vehicles, i.e. the fit

I figure Honda can handle both Acura and the Honda brand because they are designed independently, but the RL is a lost cause. They are spending too much time on the entry-level luxury cars like the TSX and TL, the RL is an overweight, underpowered forgotten pig of a car. Don't get me wrong I'd love to drive one, but if I were ponying up the almost $70K CAD, it's directly competing with some of the best cars on the road (A6, 535i, E320).
You're right in that their bread and butter will always come from cars like the Fit and other family-oriented Hondas, but to be competitive in the luxury car market they will need a lot more than technological gadgets.
