Ugliest "Acura" I've ever seen...

I'm not normally one to post things like this, but I was so offended by this automobile that I had to share...

The link, if you dare...

http://houston.craigslist.org/car/285314359.html

Just a few points...


NOT EVEN CLOSE to a Honda body...you'll see if you check out the ad
Forest Green outside, royal & navy blue interior.
BMW Z3 front gills
BMW symbol (?????)
the first 3 characters on the license plate are close to what it is...the last 3 are the noise you make when you look at the car
The 'Stallone' lips in the front

Not even the royal on navy blue vs green?
the square exhaust cutout for a round exhaust
the fact it evidently hasn't been washed since...1991
The body that wasn't made for Hondas at all
The way the fenders in front of and behind the wheels flare out instead of curving with the wheel

Maybe I've been up too long or something . It just seems really bad to me. The 'conversion' in particular.

I think a good wash would help it in the looks department. Its not as bad as what I was expecting.

kill the z fenders, redo the interior, debagde, wash, paint it black.

Then it wouldn't look bad.

not nearly the ugliest...if anything it just needs to be debadged, washed, and then have those white rims at the nearest ricer. then he'd be in the game.

I think it's pretty bad, especially considering it could be a beautiful Legend. If I had the money, I'd rescue it and return it back to it's original state. It's like the dog that you rescue from the pound because you feel bad for it, lol.

I've definitely seen worse Acuras out there than that Legend. I gotta agree w/ saiko and SHYUperman, it has potential with a little work.

The front end looks pretty bad, but I like the rear. The stock tailights somewhat resemble the shape of the R33 tailights, anyway. I like what the owner did.

No matter how bad, though, the second generation Legend Coupe is and always will be one of the most beautiful cars ever... this one just needs some work, that's all.

Well, due to the relatively high volume of "I've seen worse" comments, I'll have to apologize for misleading you guys.

I suppose that it's the fact I was expecting a beautiful legend, which is one of the more attractive cars designed for high-volume purchasing, and that is not what was appeared on my screen. Then, on top of that, it was 'converted' to a Nissan, poorly, and I'm a big fan of staying true to your brand. That, added with all the other issues I pointed out, made it pretty bad in my eyes...

I would, however, like to see some of these 'worse' Legends you guys talk about. Any pics?

I think that car used to reside in New Orleans. I remember seeing the Skyline rear tailight conversion. Back then, the entire car was white. It looked pretty clean then, when the car was washed.

I've seen uglier "Acura". Fine tune the bodywork and the interior and you'd get a nice looking car, if not an Acura.
