This 23 year old Acura looks a million times better than ALL current Acuras do! I loved these cars as a kid in school, I still love them today! It's a "LEGEND" for a reason:) I miss the days Acura had real names for its cars.

lexus messed up with the pretentious design, a direct result of all the car "automotive journalists" whining on an on about how "boring" the older designs were. in fact their designs were some of the most sensible with a subdued elegance that age very well. I bet the current cars will age very badly just as most "loud" designs tend to do.

If you want to sell outside the English market then no. Everyone knows the cars from the big German and Japanese brands that use numbers and letters so I don't get what you are all confused about. What would be confusing is naming them some English name and then use other names for other countries. Just think about it.

The Legend was an instant hit and classic in the early 90's. Rappers like Wu Tang used to drive and rap about them and even Ludacris still has his to this day. They were as popular as the LS 400 and helped put Acura on the map along side with the NSX and the Intergra type R. its a shame their downfall was when they changed it from Legend to RL smh. I had a 94 Legend then parted ways when the 04 TL came out and never looked back!!!!

True. This 2nd generation Legend Coupe(and the sedan) had a badass, "gangsta" look to it. While it lacked RWD and a V8, it made up for it in STYLE. It was sexy. I grew up in North Philly and this Legend coupe(and sedan) and the Infiniti J30(the Infiniti with the round back) were what all the drug dealers in my neighborhood were driving. Today, Acura's styling is boring. If I were in charge of styling, I would give the RLX a round coupe-like roof similar to the Aston Martin Rapide, Mercedes-Benz CLS and Audi A7. Reliability isn't enough. They need to make Acura sexy again. Make it gangsta.

Seeing this review just reminds me of how much Acura has fallen away from it's heritage of sporty luxury brand. Acura was on it's way of becoming a tier-1 luxury sports company and it's simple model of high output engines, high gearing engines, light body weights, and of course, reliability. This is all Acura had to do and it would been a powerhouse today. I will never forget walking on to the Acura dealership and seeing the Legend, Integra G-SR, and NSX. Acura was about performance but of equal importance you were buying reliable-performance (an oxymoron) that didn't need the insane maintenance. Instead, Acura became the American version of Buick. They never offered a V-8, like Lexus did, and there only now introducing transmissions that rival other luxury makers. There styling of being simple and elegant became obtuse and heavy with that beak design that the majority of reviewers didn't like. If they redesigned the RL, it should have the proportions of the Legend. Introduce a turbocharged V-6 and offer it with a 8-speed double clutch. Don't get fancy with it and just offer the basic luxury amenities. Make sure it's light and reliable. Hell call it the RL-Legend edition. The buyers will come.

idk, the legend always seemed like a bloated accord to me. most of the cars they've sold scream 'overpriced rebadged honda' in my opinion. I had a 2003 TL, and it was a nightmare. 2 transmissions and an HVAC system integrated into the nav unit... idk, Acura has been a letdown since day one imo

even though Im younger (28 years old) I recall seeing the Legend as a kid and That was one of the cars that created my love for luxury cars!! I was a timeless design. Even in 2017, if you see a well kept Acura Legend or 1998-2001 Lexus ES300, you still have to stop and look at it!! Especially the Acura. But I will agree with 9890jsp, The 03' TL and the 03Accords were beautiful but trash to deal with! I went though 3 transmissions but I'll say the quality of my Interior on my Accord EX-L was far better quality than half of the new cars on the market!! Honda and Lexus can make a quality LONG LASTING interior!!

That year Acura had only 4 models. Integra for younger people, Vigor for someone who wanted a ca nicer than the best Accord, Legend Sedan/Coupe for the older buyer, and NSX for the enthusiast. The brand has completely lost direction and focuses on stupidity like bluetooth, social media apps, iPad/ipod integration, and cellular features to sell their cars when they once had 100% of the focus on the experience of driving the car. Platform sharing with the Honda division is also a part of the downfall. The early Acura cars shared only hardware with Honda branded models. Now they share major components. This coupe was really something special; they just do not make cars like it any longer. The coolest feature on the 2nd gen Legend coupes was the auto close on the doors. You barely just latched it shut and the door would pull itself closed the rest of the way. MW never mentioned it because perhaps they did not know about it at the time.

+texan176 I hear you man. I've owned few Legends back in 90's and can't even look without disappointment at current garbage Honda is making. I don't care how technologically up to date and consumer friendly these cars are . They are NOT in the same league older Acuras were. I drove pretty much every new one lately and they are just very modern but bland, boring, sterilized driving apliances devoid of soul. Every time Acura announces some new or updated model, I look for it in hope that Honda have come to its senses and finally redeems itself, but it never happens. It's sad.

They are actually doing quite well with SUVs. Just not with anything else. The NSX is nice but is just a figureout with tiny limited output that confuse the image of the brand - the lineup of the brand are not sporty and in fact the same shared platforms they have are no faster than the equivalent Honda.

But they never were real gauges, even in pickup trucks they often had a gauge and the needle, but they never went off normal unless something was wrong, in other words they were just a complicated Idiot light, the only signaled when something went wrong and took up space on the dash, they hadn't been real gauges since the 60s or 70s. Just a needle that goes to red when something goes bad, why not just have a red light instead if you can't see the something's going wrong before it does. Idiot gauge.

My dad had a '93 Vigor LS...midnight grey I think was the colour. Super reliable, even after 540,000 kms on it. Only thing needing replacement was a rear passenger wheel bearing and ignition switch on the column. Even today, those '93 models still look sharp and hold up well. Their new designs...I don't think so, at least not for me. Their front grills look awful, and hard edge lines that to me, don't seem to flow well. Even the new NSX to me, just doesn't speak to me like the original one did in '91 when I was a kid. Maybe I was more impressionable then?

This car was definitely an aspirational car. I am and have been a long term, since 1992, Honda product owner. Both Acura and Honda seem to have lost their way since Mr. Honda passed in 1991. I have nearly no doubt that the bean counters and marketing specialists took over and do not allow for much innovation and that dried up the passion. Just look at their line up. A bunch of me-too products. My 2012 Accord Coupe V6 is a me-too car and probably my last Honda. Has it been reliable? Yes. But it has its share of minor problems and annoyances that my early 90s cars never had. Just looking back at this Legend coupe has me yearning for that time again, when Honda was a leader. What a beautiful car.

What made this car special is that it had all the advantages of a front wheel drive car, but because the engine was mounted north/south, it didn’t feel like it was front drive most of the time

Back when styling was clean and subdued. I own an 05 TL 6 speed and my best friend has a '10 TL with the SH package and 6 speed. Both of us agree that the nose, or beak, is terrible to look at. The '18 is supposed to be better, but from the photos I've seen, it just looks like everyone else's with no distinction. Take it down a notch car designers and look to your past to see what people really want to buy! Also, a bit of retro badge engineering wouldn't hurt!

Man for 30 yrs old that car was ahead of it's time & still looks like a sexy modern-esk car as any today. Beautiful car that hardly aged. I'd drive 1 even now if they still were brand new as that 1 presented & as plentiful to find as in '93..maybe not for 35 grand tho.😏

Old Acuras are better than the newer ones. Today's Hondas and Acuras look almost identical with styling. Until the NSX comes out, Acura is a brand that will suffer in sedan sales, but succeed in Crossover sales.

@oldtwinsna8347 5 жыл бұрын
well the new NSX changed nothing. Who cares about a limited production car that runs in the hundreds per year that costs over 150k. The whole idea of having a flagship is to trickle down that tech to the regular cars that people can afford to buy. In this case, acura has nothing like that.
