Which model from Acura do you think was the best car they have ever made
I have thought about this for some time now as a car enthusiast and an acura enthusiast more specifically. We all know that acura is known for building luxurious and well crafted sporty cars, but I would just like to know which car do you guys think was the best that acura has ever produced in terms of quality, exterior design, interior design, and performance?

Depends on how you look at things. The NSX is great, but was just a very small part of what Acura has done and such a low production sports car that it's hard to compare in the same poll. If your just considering their common vehicles, then without a doubt the 3G TL is a winner. However I would really consider both the NSX and 3G to be Acuras all time greatest achievements.

NSX, Integra Type R, Legend, 3G TL, and CL-S 6MT. Acura was in their prime from the 90's to mid-2000's.

Best is difficult. The early to mid 90s acuras were EXTEREMLY well built cars, particularly the 2/3g Integra and the legend. But I voted 3G TL because I think its their best looking sedan and their most successful one.

IMO the 90s had the best built vehicles.

Although I started this thread I will choose my picks anyway. My favorite acuras ever made are the 3rd gen TL, 2nd gen Legend, 2nd gen Integra, and either the 1st gen TL or Vigor, although I do find the 3rd gen Integra and RSX to be pretty attractive and fun cars.

The Legend was HUGE in the mid to late 90's but it was such a long time ago that i dont expect people (specially the younger crowd) to remember how much of a home run that car was.

3G TL gets my vote. Granted, I don't know much about some of the other models.

Lol, I'm pretty sure some of those are waaaayyy too new to even be candidates in this poll. An ILX really? Haha yeah that's Acuras all time best vehicle ever made. Never even heard of an SLX, and the RLX, have they even sold 20 of those yet ;-) I think you see what I'm sayin, this poll is for proven Acura vehicles.

The SLX was in production from 1996-99. Four years. There was also the EL from 97 through 2000. Just saying.

The SLX was the first ever assembled acura SUV which was nothing more than a rebadged Isuzu Trooper and although it was a slow seller it paved the way for the MDX.

2nd generation Acura Legend. It was a timeless, classy and desirable car. Both in sedan and coupe form.

You'd think they would find use of at least one other letter in the 26 letter alphabet. Let go of X man. It's time.

Anyway, back on topic, I had a 2G TL which was a great car for the price ($27K), but looks wise, I have to give it to the 3G. The NSX and Legend coupes were great looking cars (still are), but I guess I'm looking at numbers sold as well as criteria.

Surprised NSX wasn't listed lol. Tough choices nonetheless. DC2, DC5, 3rd Gen TL, Lots of good choices lol.

I agree with the best looking... but i think had the NSX and the Legend been on the poll, it might be a little different.

The Legend and the NSX and the Integra Type R were keep to keeping things moving in the Acura life line.
