The late 90s Honda Legend/Acura RL was one of my dream cars as a teen. There isn't a single Honda/Acura sedan since that has come since looking as regal as this. The longitudinal layout gives it true RWD proportions, not a half-assed attempt like the new TLX.

If only they took the final step and actually made it RWD, instead of going the Honda+ route in later versions.

I didn’t post the Q45 and LS400 in this thread for exactly that reason. They were all uninspired from a styling front.

^^^^^ Although the CRX's brakes, even in the Si version, were not very impressive, and its non-power steering was a little on the slow side for a car of that small size and weight, the CRX was a real icon....well-built, economical, and fun to drive. The Del Sol that replaced it in 1992-1993, IMO, couldn't hold a candle to it, even though it was fun in the sun with the removable roof panel.
