ALoP, I still don't think your being honest. I think most if not all are against you on the outdated theory which must mean you don't have much of an eye for cars. No, legends do not have V-tec. V-tec has a lot to do with the design of the exterior/interior of a car doesn't it?

honest yes vtec no?
Well I guess that sucks for you guys as far as I've heard vtec is de bomb..maybe you need a sticker??
I must be missing something as far as the looks of these cars..went to your website and had a good laugh...about my taste.
Own a highly modified wrangler for the dirt
Own a '99 CBR900RR for going reeeeealy fast (sadly no vtec)
Own a '59 Cal-Look Rag bug w/2276
Own a '01 CR500R for going reeeeealy fast in the dirt
Just bought but dont own *yet our CL-S - wife really digs it.
again taste will differ - almost have all my bases covered still am deciding if I'll get the '02 lightning (supercharged V8 drooool)
I think my aunt drives a legend maybe I'll take a closer look at it next time she's around. Its great you are under the impression your car is timeless!! Saves you big dough in the end as you have no reason to upgrade or purchase a newer car...I feel the same way about my bug..the thing is soo old but I wouldnt sell it for the world as my eyes light up when I see it in the garage.
to each his own..

Ya, I bet you were actually laughing out loud at the legends. Ummm, no, no you weren't, you were just saying you were.
Got a little test for you. If you think they are outdated in design, point something(or "somethings" in your case, you've been talking a whole lotta smack that hasn't been too backed up, so you must think there is a lot of stuff wrong) specifically out and compare it to newer Acuras or cars for that matter telling and comparing what is outdated on the legend.

My quesiton about V-tec was never answered..did the legends get this technology in there engines? Prob some did some didnt depending on the year I would imagine.
The legend def. does not turn my head as I pass them on the street....timeless no tired err...

I’m a CL driver and I prefer the look of my "old outdated" Legend any day.
If I could put the CL-S engine, interior & electronic toys in this body, I would be a happy man.

remember these are my opinions - and yes I did chuckle, even called over a co-worker to show him the almighty legend. He didnt get it either - damn Grand Cherokee Limited drivers!
Okay I dont know too much but..
Looks like an accord
No HID
CD player? prob tape? trying to remember if we had cd's in 92
read your car had no cupholders?? Oh the humanity
Did I mention it looks like an accord?
too much $$
only 200Hp
No Vtec
Those were my opinions and questions..not 100% reliable info =oP
this was found on a website..
Image
Lexus scored with image-conscious British buyers, but Legend almost missed the game; in the luxury car market, cars need to be noticed - Legend is too reticent and easily overlooked.
this is how I feel about the legend -easily overlooked.
saw someone used nostalgic in a post that is a good word in this situation..memories

Mabey this crap will end
Alright we got some people on here that have problems w/ both the Acura Legend and the Acura CL series... Well let me just say like a$$holes eveyone has there own opinion.. I have a Legend Coupe 95 it's an L not an LS (the one w/ all the bells and whisles) but it's cool.. Shit I luv the car from owning a 2.5 TL it's WAAAAAY better preformance wise... I Think the new cl's and tl's are cool as hell but bland as most stock acuras are... TL&CL-S along w/ mods and things can look
PumpCL with the Hydros I think that is sssssoooooo cooool
Some of you guys rim choices compared w/ your CL are also
And the stock CL-S are
with the 20 layers of zanio on it
.... U guys luv your cars as much as us guys who own Legends... U take pride in your cars and feel anger if some one down plays them... So just take that in mind....Lets all show some ACURA

Legends had optional 6-CD Changers, the cupholders came on the LS model(which I have), 200 HP is a lot and is enough(drive one and you won't disagree), HID's are fairly recent innovations(you act like they came on cars in 91!!),
I noticed you didn't accept my challenge. Hmmm, wonder why??? Does the price of a car determine if it looks old?
Your right, your info isn't 100% reliable, its unreliable. Look at the design of the taillights of the G2 legend and compare them to the new lexus LS400, ES300, and Infiniti Q45. They copied the design(some in the way they light up and some in how they look from the outside)

on the way home thinking of my post
And realized im the last person to post on the negative aspects of the legend...and it shows. I dont know shite about your car. And dont care to.
bottom line I dont dislike the legends, they just dont grab me. Call it what you will.
This is what I've said all along..Im glad you enjoy your car kudos...Like always im entitled to my opinion..
I just happen to think the legend looks -unimpressive -outdated -and a bit old. (probably because it is).
Reason may be because I saw most of them years ago in there prime...again with the nostalgia.
Ever watch an 80's show and think to yourself..I remember when that was the rage??
Basically when I see a legend I think nothing...speaks for itself. My eyes will most likely fall on the shiny new Z06 (405hp drool)some old fart is driving next to me.
When I see a nice umm say S2000 I get a grin and admire the lines of the car.
I know the legend is a top class car and dont contend with that, just dont see it as the looker as some do.
Im not here to argue or involve myself in a pissing contest. For god sakes I dont even drive an Acura.
Well I'm home now and am going to drink a beer aaaah beer. My refuge.
I hope you enjoy your car for another 10 years and I also hope it retains that fresh feeling for ya.

ALoP, thats the most respectable post I've seen you post in this thread. Glad, you've thought about it. Only thing I can still say now is that your opinions aren't/havn't been justified in any way. I just get this feeling you bash legends with no knowledge about them and having not even driven one. Maybe your taste is way off from everyone elses. Who knows!

Only on a track my friend <with talent>
And I never find myself on one. I would and could (and have)
eaten a 250r's YZ CR RM what have you and have done so in the past. Now that everyone is converting to 4 strokes...im only getting faster. I just got rid of my cr250r - not the kind of power I was looking for as I enjoy hill climbs. <<Glamis Anyone>>
The street bike is nice..havent riddin it much lately..but I almost never see a 99 RR on the street. If I had the cash I would prob. trade up to the gsxr1000 <drool> but cant justify the expense right now because im focused on the lightning. But its fast and bulletproof like you said. Honda is always there on reliability.
thanks for the critisisim...<sp>?
Let me know if your in the bay area..we'll do carnagie!!

bring that purty bike down
and look me up ---> kjordon@pacbell.net
you would love it down here
Carnagie
Hollister Hills
Stanislaus National Forest
Santa Clara Moto park
Glamis Dunes
From the extensive list of mods I would say you prob. race. I get around the track about twice and get bored. Are you sponsored? Hope so as I wouldnt want to foot the bill for all your "stuff".
Even with your drilled washers (didnt know you could drill washers)..I doubt your 250 would pull on the 500. This bike is a beast...just got it but rode 2 cr250's prior to purchasing.
If you are sponsored what is your name...maybe I can follow your progress on the circuit. Ive got a buddy that races but he races street bikes (GP250's + GSXR600 & 1000) he's very fast...ride with another guy that laid down a kooool 30 g's for the duck sps. Nice bike although I would never spend that kind of scrilla on a bike. Im sure you will enjoy your Aprilia - they are beutiful bikes. Actually down here in the bay area you see more Aprilia's then RR's. Bunch of bloody rich engineers rolling about! But the king of the street (in numbers that is) is the R1
Well remember ya got a homie in the bay area ..run what ya brung. Be it your soon to be Aprilia or your soon to be sold CR, Ill show ya the spots! And try to beat ya to em heh heh....

Being a current 01 CL-S owner and former 95 Legend 4-Door owner, I feel that I can authoritatively comment here.
To compare the two cars objectively, I'll first list the benefits of each one over the other:
Legend:
- Better build quality. Absolutely bullet proof. No rattling. Tank-like feeling of safety.
- Better exterior appearance. More conservative. The CL is excellent too - just not as timeless.
- Power tilt / telescopic steering wheel, which is set and reset upon keying the ignition, and is synced with the memory positions.
CL Type-S
- First and foremost, acceleration.
- More agility / comfort at speeds in excess of 75 mph.
- 6-Disk in-dash.
- Every option standard: dual heated seats, power driver and passenger seats, wheels, etc.
- Xenon HID lights. My personal favorite.
- Trip-tronic shifter
- Various Safety features: VSA, side airbags, etc.
- 2 cup holders
- Dual exhaust
I had problems with each. The Legend's alarm started to go off randomly before I sold it, and I began to feel a little out of touch with the road when going 80-90 mph. The CL has always had rattles. It's really starting to infuriate me. Plus the tires are too goddamned expensive.

Last reply- I'll try to end this thread again, since I started it.
95 Legend Coupe - things I like - 230 hp, distinctive looks, Manual option from day ONE, supersolid build quality after 5 years old, no squeaks, back windows open, real wood trim, tiltaway wheel, paid $18k used with 1 year dealer warranty, with goldtrim, spoiler, CD changer, 42k miles. People think it's a brand new Acura but know what a Legend is.
02 CL- things I like - V-tech, navi.
Don't like - generic looks, rattles and questions on build quality compared to the JP Legend, automatic. $30,000. CL what?

i don't even remember posting in this thread it's so old.
again, the legend was a great car. but the cl-s out performs it in every possible way. i remember doing twisty runs with some type II's w/ springs and sways, and they were almost rolling over trying to keep up with us. and they may have a timeless look but the cl-s is still a better looking car IMO. i raced my friends type II at the drag strip, he had all bolt ons + a 50 shot. i still whooped him by a whole second w/ only i/h/p.
the only thing the legend has on us is the japanese build quality (i have to take that from what others have said) and the way the doors automatically latch after you shut them.
btw, the thread starter deserves to be stabbed in the eye with a spork.
