The Legend is much cooler.

But I'm pretty sure the RL is the Legend's successor, and the TL is the Vigor's replacement. Could be wrong, but the RL is still called the Legend elsewhere.

TL = Totam Luxuriam ("the complete luxury" in Latin according to Google Translate)

Alternatively,

TL = "Total Loss" after a $%&#! lady ran a red light and rammed my pristine, 10-year old 2000 TL with 165K miles on it. Insurance gave me $4,500 for it (boohoo) which I put toward a new 2010 TL tech.

If I'm not mistaken, the name Legend became the RL so many years ago. I think I read some where it means Total Luxury.

In my opinion, if Acura were to revert back to the "Legend" and "Vigor" names, it would improve their "prestige" factor. It just sounds betters...

Gosh, look what I found for MDX.
http://www.mosha.com/msolap/articles/MDXForEveryone.htm

MDX is a language that allows to describe multidimensional queries. As a matter of fact, the name MDX stands for Multi-Dimensional eXtensions...

So interesting

TSX= Touring Sport eXperiment
RSX = Racing Sport eXperimental
NSX= New Sports eXperimental
RL = Refined (&/or Road?) Luxury

But i think only the TL has had official confirmation as touring luxury...

Toothy Legend
Terrible Looks
Tons o'Lard
Time Lapsed
Tank Low
Too Late
Troubling Lines
Trifecta Loss

sorry TL lovers, I don't really mind the TL, people (myself) complained about boring styles in the past, and Acura answered with some cutting edge, that took balls. I'm just mad that the Acura line has ended up with low mpg, high priced undesirable cars confused and lost between Honda goodness and German wannabes. Would have preferred to be back in the smaller, simpler 90s models, some coupes, or all out with v8s and crazy prices. bring out some hybrids or better mpg. the ZDX is the perfect example of the a car too late or at the wrong time. TL is too big! TSX is too tame, and I don't want a truck. overant.

^ why bother posting that here? Trying to get a rise out of us? I am not too keen on Ford Mustang's, so should I go to their website and complain about the lack of head room or comfort?

Undesirable car? Hmmm... wouldn't you think everyone 4G owner is going to disagree with you?

Call me crazy
