      I remember the Acura Legend. Those cars were so solid and bullet proof the Acura Service Centers at their dealerships complained about not having any business for the first few years. Yeah Acura was hitting it out of the park with the NSX, the Integra, and the Type R. Then they lost their appeal. The MDX is their biggest seller now.

    This was a very professional video. I agree with the owner completely. I think the first generation Acura Legend coupes, especially an LS model with a 5 speed manual, is one of the best looking and most durable Japanese car. Even the Japanese don't build them like that anymore. Those coupes are getting harder and harder to find. Nice to see the owner loves it stock and is working hard to hunt down all the necessary parts to keep it original!

    Founder Soichiro Honda did not design/build engines and cars for money, that was his passion, that's why honda cars are always better. Of course it is not easy to demonstrate his art (and high standards) in mass production. That is why he designed/built the Legend and the NSX. Thank you Scotty Kilmer, Thank you Alex

    This was the best winner yet, very well put together and the guy really knows his car. A lot of those nice little features would have completely gone over most people's heads as it's an older car, and people don't expect them to have convenient features such as the windshield wiper prop. Thanks for sharing, I almost want to go out and find myself a Legend now.

    Hey Scotty I had 1986 Acura Legend (blue 4 door) with the 2.5 V6. I totally loved and was very impressed with the comfy seats and build quality.

    Good vid, these cars were sweet back in the day, everything still works 28 years later. I'm not sure how many parts may or may not have been replaced, but that's impressive. Regarding the airbag and horn buttons that was pre-floating horn button over the airbag. Most cars only had 2 buttons that you had to hunt for if trying to beep the horn, it was especially a pain when trying to beep while turning. This car was ahead of its time with 4 horn buttons. Best of luck with her!

    My first car purchase was a 91 Acura Legend back in 05. I LOVED that car. The combination of what seemed like lower gearing and a 200hp v6, that car seemed to just fly. Acceleration was awesome and I had the speedometer reading 130+ one time with the engine willing to give more...that was with 200,000+ miles on it. I'd love to by the last model year ('95 I believe) when they had 230hp. Just a fantastic car

I bought it with 95,000 miles on it, in 2002 and it hit 257,000 the other day! I have to admit it's not in the great condition yours is in but the champagne body color still turns heads. Take care.

      @Sean _ nah Indians never drive acura's
      The only time they drive acura's is when they have a family or something
      What I'm saying is that they drive an RDX or a MDX

    I own a 94 legend coupe and after owning an nsx and an s63 I am glad to say that the legend is still my favorite car I’ve ever driven. Super advanced technology for its time and its quick enough for a daily. Also the sound and scream of the engine is like no other.

    Excellent choice Mr. Kilmer. What a classic piece of automotive history. The “luxury” branding of Infinity(Nissan), Lexus(Toyota), and Acura(Honda) is one of the most fascinating trends in the history of the import car market.

      LSanti i agree the Acura Legend is a gorgeous car truly ahead of its Time. Then people look at me crazy when i say it to. But they don’t understand what a beautiful long lasting well made car is.

    Thanks Scotty for these new segments to see all the awesome blasts from the past. These first generation Legends are awesome cars, and to this day, not a week goes by without someone pointing and shouting out, "love that Legend", or an enthusiastic "thumbs up", as I drive by. Only differences I noticed between your 90, and my 87' (introduction year of the coupe) is that my L model only has the bump forward seat belt on the drivers side., and no integrated bad ass spoiler. However, my 87" does have the optional integrated graphic equalizer instead of the cassette storage compartment under the stereo's head unit. Probably an upgrade option, at the time. Rock on Legend, and I hope one day you come back, bigger better, and even more bad ass than ever!

    Wow! professionally done video, resolution ! beautiful. Little to fast for my taste. Forgot to tell everyone that the reason for the wipers lifting feature is that it prevented freezing solid to the windshield. Amazing technologies for the 1990 car. I have a beautiful restored gold 1990 Honda Accord ( looks amazingly similar to his Accuras), love it to pieces, no rust ( California ) 280 000 miles, works like charm. Thanks Scotty, thanks Alex.
