it did return..as an RL so did legend coupes..as a CL

The first gen 2.2/3.0 CL was a poor excuse for a legend replacement - it was more related to a 94-97 honda accord.

Yikes, don't call a CL a new Legend coupe! CL's are based on TL's. Much uglier.

Here's that thread you were remembering;
http://www.acura-legend.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=101246

haha im not! i just read it somewhere...i was going off of that. man oh man! its all good though. and it was another thread i was talking about. some guy said his dad worked for an acura dealership and heard whispers in the company that a new legend was gonna be coming out.... who knows? and i also read that the TL's were the replacement for the vigors....once again i read this. this is not my personal opinion or made up fact im trying to get confirmed.

I'd say your article's author is misinformed. The 2.2CL, 3.0CL and later 3.2CL in no way replaced the Legend Coupe - they are part of the TL family.

Once again I refer to the archives...
Torrance, Calif. - 04/23/1997
"Acura, known for its sporty and luxurious models, is bringing American coupe drivers home in style with its CL Series of luxury sports coupes, the first Acura model designed, engineered and manufactured exclusively in the United States. With a bold exterior design and best-in-class luxury appointments, the sporty CL Series is pioneering a resurgence in the luxury coupe market."

Just a note on this link, I noticed it's a new format and it looks like alot of the data that was there before is missing. Hopefully it's just transitional and all info will be restored. I actually had to go through the www.hondanews.com link to get to Acura Archives under the "A" emblem.

:headscrat I'm not sure if I'm following. Is the rumour that the Legend NAME is being brought back?

Sergio · Aug 22, 2005

I highly doubt they will change the name of the RL to Legend. All of the other Acura models are named with two or three letters.

this is the new Honda Legend which is available in Europe. if you want to know the price in $ just divide the cost with 12

here's a link for all the Legends on sale in Estonia for anyone interested:

1) That looks suspiciously similiar to a USDM RL :turban:
2) To figure out the price, you left out the step about learning to read in whatever language that site happens to be in.

whoever wrote this article is wrong then.... i just thought the RL was the replacement "newer legend", the CL was the replacement coupe, the TL was the newer vigor etc... no big deal. why is everybody getting all up tight and mad???

Who's tight up and mad?

I was just correcting whoever told you that...im just peachy lol

i couldnt agree any more with the name being brought back in n/a taking all the focus off our classics. i dont think our name will hold as high of value when you tell somoene "i drive a legend" outside this community. then they expect you to drive a $70k vehicle. and not a beautiful classic, that would probably still rank higher for its time part for part.

meh.. just my $0.02.. let the rest of the world water down the name. im happy with it just the way it is here.

I dunno; as far as re-sale value, "Legend"s took a hit when Acura stopped making "Legend"s for North America and replaced them with "RL"s. So bringing back the moniker...it may help? I guess I'd have to do some research into whether or not Monte Carlo resale values went up when Chevy brought that back or not...

antik · Sep 10, 2004

Even if they brought the Legend back, I don't see them doing anything more then bringing back the name. I doubt we'll see anything much like the G2 body again. It'd be such a vast departure from Acura's entire lineup that it wouldn't make sense.

Personally, I don't believe that you can expect the same balance of performance, handling, and interior cut and finish that our Legends have either. Just like many of us find something slightly off or unimpressive about most Acuras build since the G2, I think you can expect the same if Acura was to re-release a car w/ the Legend name.

And I don't even want to begin to speculate what it'll cost to own one.

duck · Mar 24, 2004

The name ain't coming back, this has been a rumor since the day "RL" went onto a car.

Now, maybe they will make a "RL Legend-Edition"?

LegendGS · Jan 17, 2002

The body style isn't coming back unless Acura wants to do with the Legend what Jaguar does with the XJ. Not going to happen.

As far as the name is concerned, it would be interesting to see what happens after "Acura" is launched worldwide. Being that the rest of the world still carries the Legend name on the RL, the question is whether Honda/Acura will unify all of their Acura vehicles under their current, more vastly used Honda names or convert the rest of the world over to the North American naming system.

That sucks! then our legends wont be legends anymore just another old car. I wont feel special in my car anymore there will be new legends everywhere.

then again it already is an old car look at the BMW 6 series

I love newbies

antik · Sep 10, 2004

Good point. I still have mad respect for the older BMW 6 series.

DSCLegend94 · Jan 17, 2002

VW brought back the "rabbit" name, it was the rabbit ->golf->rabbit, so there's still hope...maybe.

Acura to release the Legend again??
