Legend Coupe 5speed SCI Review - July 1991 (56k beware) - Page 3

The funniest thing is that the Legend is the only car that doesn't look dated. All of the other ones look like antiques from the 80's

yea, that's my favorite picture...amongst its peers, it's the only car that hasn't aged as they have...

all of them look like they're from a by gone era. The Legend just seems to transcend time in that photo.

Incidentally, did anyone else notice the Low of the Legend???
The Best Lows section i've ever seen

"Its excellence is, sometimes, too subtle to register"

Nothing bad to say about the car....at all.

Hey nick you think you could scan the Volvo's review too? i'm curious if what i think about this car is what C&D thought about it too.

If it's too much trouble don't worry about it

I was looking at that too. I wasn't sure if the black came in a two tone black/gray set up.

I can probably scan in the Volvo review as well. A little later today.

I am home "sick" today, so I should be able to get to it later.

Here's the Motor Trend January 1991 comparing the a 1991 Legend LS 5speed versus a G1 Legend (unspecified model year and stats).

Xcaliber003 · 05-02-07, 03:23 AM

Good article. Makes me want to get a G2. I wonder if it is really more maneuverable.

Sergio · 05-02-07, 04:23 AM

Beautiful. An automobile ahead of its time. Thank you for sharing, sir.

Black Type II · 05-02-07, 10:41 AM

did anyone notice that they said a V8 or V10 and all wheel drive...wow if Honda really made that happen

EarlThePearl · 05-02-07, 10:19 PM

Thank you for scanning the G1 vs G2 article. It's appreciated!!!

NickD · 05-02-07, 11:43 PM

Here's a nice review from May 1991 of Road & Track. "Acura Legend LS: What's in a Name?"

Black Type II · 05-03-07, 09:07 AM

hey any more coupe articles?

NickD · 05-03-07, 09:26 AM

I'll have to look. I don't think so. I have a Mitsu Diamante Vs. Legend LS (sedan) scanned that I just need to post. Then I have two more articles. One is a consumer reports review, so that's a sedan most likely. I forget what the other is.

All of these are 91 - 92 sedans. My father collected these when he was researching buying his Legend back then.

Black Type II · 05-03-07, 10:33 AM

did any of these magazines ever did a long term test?
