Legend Coupe 5speed SCI Review - July 1991 (56k beware)

NickD · 04-28-07, 01:33 AM

Okay, so it's Friday night and I am rooting through some boxes that haven't been unpacked. What else better to do on a Friday night? heh. So anyway, I come across a folder and I find all my old Legend papers. I have Car & Driver from 1991, Road & Track, an article pitting the G1 Legend versus the G2, Sports Car International's review on the 91' Legend Coupe and many more. So I figured I would start scanning them in. Here's Sports Car International's review of the 1991 Acura Legend Coupe 5speed from July of 1991. Click on the image for the super hi-res versions (may take long to download).
