Honda's Clever Answer to German Engineering - 1992 Acura Legend Manual Coupe POV (Binaural Audio)

[@TedwardDrives]

When Acura released the Legend in the US they made huge waves in the market and opened the door for Japanese Luxury brands to take over. Thanks to @TminusNYC for tossing the keys, and Zumbachs Coffee for giving us a home base for the day. Also a huge shout out to my patreon supporters for making this content possible.

[@brichpmr]

Many of your comments about the 'Honda-ness' of this car apply in spades to my current TSX Wagon as a fun daily driver engineered by people who like to drive.

[@kopper499b]

Mine was a daily driver for 13 years - '93 6-speed L Coupe. The NSX similarities are real - the first 5 NSX production years overlapped with the Legend and they both came from Japan. Both also used the C series V6 with the Legend having the C32A/A1 and NSX first had the C30 followed by the C32B.

My Legend was stolen one night and led the police on a good chase before the thieves were apprehended. The chasing officer commented on the surprise speed of the Legend. The thieves were caught because they decided to keep the car for themselves. I got it back in perfect condition from the police 12 hours later.

[@JohnnyWishbone85]

Ted -- Regarding the volume knob (3:00), it was a very common feature on very high-end audio equipment during the late '80s and early '90s for the main volume knob to rotate when the volume was changed via remote. I suspect it started as a technical limitation, in that the volume knob was connected directly to an analog component that controlled the volume, and the only way to command the volume by remote was indirectly, by triggering a motor that turned the knob. However, it became a "look-how-cool-this-is" feature in an era defined by doing cool-but-complex-and-expensive stuff just because you *can* (no doubt cocaine had *something* to do with it), particularly with electronics. I've therefore suspect that Honda was trying to associate itself with ultra-premium-ness by including a feature that was common on the kind of audio equipment owned by people who drove BMWs and Benzes.

[@rhythm_is_life]

So many things to dissect in this video; 1: When I was graduating high school in 2003, the '92 Legend Manual Coupe was one of my attainable dream cars, along with the early 90s Mercedes 190E 2.3 and the 88 Porsche 944 Turbo S (the latter has shot way up in value) 2: I always hated thoae entrances on the Merritt Parkway, the Saw Mill River Parkway also has several entrances where you have to stop before you can enter the parkway, 3: I used to love driving on the Merritt Parkway. I also used to love driving on the Bronx River Parkway, especially around the turns leading into White Plains.. Those parkways just got too crowded with traffic over time. It's sad that there's so few places on the map where you can truly enjoy driving a car.
