Re: New Legend!

Isn't it going to get that retarded new Acura grille? If not, it looks pretty good. If it does, it'll look retarded.

Re: New Legend!

Isn't this just an Acura RL? I see the TSX (at least the last-gen) as the spritual successor to the Legend, which was so lithe and nimble, especially the first gen.

I loved my '89 Legend Coupe, it was a great handling car with incredibly precise steering. Quite unreliable though. But I would get another one- I always keep my eye out for used 3.2 CL Type S 6M.

Re: New Legend!

I'm not crazy about the new grille but this car is supposed to be "full size" and rear wheel drive - so it should sell well anyway.. Oh and it's supposed to be a v8 too..

Boy, Sal, that full size classification has been shrinking each year.
