I visited my local Raleigh dealer and the owner brought out the the 2012 catalog for me to browse. I looked mainly at the road bikes and really liked what I seen. They have dropped the top 3 road bike names for next year (Team, Prestige and Competition) and replaced them with Militis 3,2 and 1 full carbon monocoque frame w/internal cable routing, the difference being color and equipment installed.
The Militis 3 is equipped with Sram red, the 2 with red/force and 1 with 105.
The Revenio has made a nice change also, from the alloy frame with carbon fork to a all carbon monocoque frame.

I also noticed a full carbon mountain bike that comes in at 22 lbs.

Next years cyclocross line will offer eight models.

They are going to offer the Militis (Militis 3 color) and the Revenio frames for sale also.

I really like the looks of the Raleigh's for next year and may have a Militis/Shimano build in the future.

I don't like Bicycling mag that much, but they had a smokin Raleigh in the past 3 months or so featured.
Full dura ace components. Looked nice.

I know I'm in the wrong section, But I own a early 90's raleigh mtb, I love this thing. I'm currently looking at this one from rei https://www.rei.com/product/808751/ra...o-10-bike-2011
Do you guys think it would be a good beginner road bike? I really want to get something faster than my 2 inch tires.

They don't. Like many of the nostalgic bicycle brand names you remember, the brand name was bought by a corporation that shipped production to Asia and slapped some stickers that say "Raleigh" on the frame.
