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’ve always thought this was a beautiful car. V12 as well. The way the front lights are quad and the rear connection where the roof and side panel meet is something I find interesting

IMO one of the best-looking sedans of my lifetime...Jaguar S-Type

Nice interior. The Crome glove box lock really sticks out. The centre display screen with the accompanying buttons is really nice. I like how most of the buttons are spaced out as well.

Best-looking Ponycar...........1970 Plymouth Barracuda, although these cars had atrocious build-quality and ultra-cheap materials.

Nope. I don’t feel the passion for this MM. I know you do

Agreed as long as it's the refresh.




For a car dubbed by the motoring press as being "retro" it had quite a few design elements that were ahead of their time, like the small window, high beltline swoopy banana body that preceded the CLS.

Had Jaguar removed some of the chrome elements and tweaked the front and rear ends to something more contemporary, there would have been nothing retro about how this car looked.

One of my personal favorites:




Of all the cars I've got to say, the S560 is the best looking:

You think the sedan looks better than the former 850i?

(I'm not necessarily disagreeing.....just asking your opinion)
