Favorite Acura model other than TL??
I was just curious what models people like other than the TL they own. I personally love the 2nd gen RL. What about you guys?

I love the NSX and look forward to seeing it back into production in some form or another. That was one sweet car when it came out in 1990 and it still looks sweet today. The new one will have more of a techy look but still is nice too.

Besides the obvious NSX, i think the new MDX SH-AWD is a beast of a car.

a close 3rd would actually be the 4G TL SH-AWD 6MT

I agree with this chap. Love the MDX and I'm actually a big fan of the new 4G TLs.

95 Legend GS. For the time period it was quick, offered a 6mt, and had very nice amenities for the time like heated front seats. Not to mention many people on Legend forums these days are consistently reporting getting upwards of 300k miles on them.

at a far distant 3rd would be the NSX and only from a body style standpoint. The styling on that car is incredibly striking, however, that car hasn't had a single iteration that performs the way it should considering how much the price sticker was on it.

It was a bargain compared to super cars in that era. Similar to how the GTR is today.

NSX is my favorite Acura, by far.

My old 07 RDX. I wish I still had it. If it wasn't a lease, I would have modded the shit out of it...so maybe it's a good thing we returned it haha. I also wish they would keep that engine around. Boost is the way to go.


NSX of course is also my favorite.

I'm on the SH-AWD MDX Tech bandwagon for "next favorite" too.

I would have to say NSX like everyone else, followed closely with a ITR. From an engineering standpoint these two machines were amazing for their time.

All Time - '94 NSX, Brooklands Green Pearl/black 5MT or '97 NSX non-targa Monte Carlo Blue/black 5MT (good luck finding it)

And here I thought this would be a waste of a thread...but you made it right here.

Its obvious you don't know the history of the NSX...what the car was created for...how it did/does perform...and the impact it had on the exotic companies that cost 2,3,4x the amount of the NSX.

Do yourself a favor and get a clue before you post.

I loved my 98 Prelude Type SH. FWD cars pulling .90g's in the skidpad is unheard of other than the ITR. ATTS was sweet technology that should be on every honda/acura performance FWD cars. I loved the H22A4's torque. It wasn't and ITR but when you're a 6'1 19yo its a great 2nd choice... .

at the NSX not performing.

That car is an amazing machine and it was a bargain compared the cars it was meant to compete with..

Forgot to add - the TL is not my favorite Acura.

Nothing current.

NSX would be #1, Legend #2. I did love my '02 TL-S with all the bolt-ons as well...
