Man, you are not alone. That and the Q45. I still think that they should have kept the Legend name. The name alone evokes power and a higher status.

I absolutely LOVED my Acura Legend...It was a 1992 Black on black LS sedan. That car was awesome! Dark tint, spoiler, eurabuni side skirts. I got so many complements on that car at that time (6 years ago) especially people that had TL's at the time. They would follow me into 7-11's and ask, "what kind of Acura is that?" The next question was..."do they make it anymore?" I still miss it...and it felt a lot faster than the documented 0-60 and 1/4 mile times.

And today's RL has a super-high-quality interior that did not lose its solidness and high-grade materials over the years either, like many other cars have done.
I agree, however I felt Acura still made a blunder when it changed the naming from Legend to an RL.

Only six Honda/Acura sedans I found attractive so far, and they are 1991-1995 Acura Legend, 1995-1998 Acura TL, 1990-1993 Honda Accord, 1994-1997 Honda Accord, 1996-2000 Honda Civic, and 2004-2008 Acura TSX.

Thanks Ben. after lurking for a bit I just had to register and post. I have a 1995 Acura Legend SE which was developed to push left over '94 L models. regardless a blast to drive. My parents bought it back in 97 and recently purchased an '06 GS 300 AWD in the red mica.

Here is a shot of my Legend with 134k

So you are the friend that SLegacy99 keeps talking about when we discuss Legends. I still pop into the Acura forum every once in a while.

The 4 door Integra GS of the time was an excellent drive as well. Acura can & should revive these gems. Also, make an S2000 based Acura drop top please.

Agreed. Early 90s were the glory years for Honda.
