Acura Legend

For used-vehicle shoppers, most Legends are getting up there in terms of miles but are still very viable choices. The Acura Legend was launched in 1986 alongside the Integra game hatchback to create the Acura brand in North America. Actually co-developed with British automaker Rover (which named its version of the car the Sterling 825), the fiction -- available in sedan and coupe body styles -- was immediately a hit among consumers and reviewers even. When Acura discontinued the Legend name in favor of a new alphanumeric naming scheme for its latest luxury sedan, it unfortunately coincided with a drop in style and driving passion that had made the Legend such a success. The Legends replacement, the RL, was certainly additional luxurious and just while in the manner tha reliable, but hardly intoxicating. past as a consequence o its fledgling Acura brand, Honda favourably blended its penchant for reliability and engine expertise with luxury features heretofore unavailable in a car wearing the H badge. The second-generation Legend raised the bar even further and its inauguration for 1991 saw the debut of Acuras own insignia -- a flipped Honda H with the top pinched to make an A -- that solidified the brand as more of a stand-alone creature. It takes reliance to title a vehicle the legend. If it had been forgettable with nothing legendary about it, Acura could have found itself derided for the irony. It would have always become the butt of automotive jokes, or worse, part of an Alanis Morissette song. Luckily for Hondas luxury division, its bravado cancelled off with the Acura Legend, a car thats still held in high regard years after it bowed out in favor of an ironically forgettable replacement.
