This makes a great executive car especially:

this type ar??...

I only seen old Honda Legend here.

Ever wondered if its due to the smallest engine in d Legend is 3.2cc? Bad history from Kah Motors which previously brought in d CBU Legend more then a decade ago only sold a small handful.

Plus, there is only a tiny market for a executive class saloon wit engines bigger then 3.0, costing >300k 2b a Jap which is already populated by Lexus.

the latest one looks awesome with its cool interior. but the engine size 3.5L is the culprit. it will cost alot (tax+roadtax) in malaysia. so i guess the car will not that sell very well.

dont have in malaysia because there ar legend

malaysia just as know as jungle beside singapure lolz

I have seen some older versions here though, maybe brought in by Grey Importers or the first batch sold by Kah Motors

mebbe its too expensive? Oh wait, we have Ferrari's around

That Acura is very comfortable and yet powerful. Used to sit in my colleague's car in the US. The inside is abit small though; it might be cause they're big size........ahaha

The Honda Legend in Japan is actually our Honda Accord in Malaysia, engine spec different only... The Honda Accord in Japan is the Euro Accord or the US Acura...

Is it?

I remember last time when Oriental (Kah Motor) was the distributor. They did sell Honda Legend here.
And Honda Accord was on M'sian soil since the 1st gen, which is the late 70's.

firstly, its due 2 the engine.. if im not mistaken the smallest engine u can get is 3.0L, n as we all know the roadtax 4 big engines above 3.0L is a nightmare in our country.. 2ndly, the legend is a very very good car indeed, it is designed 2 be a mid class luxury saloon, 2 rival against stuff like the bmw 5 series, or a merc eclass or an audi a6.. so its priced pretty much the same as its rivals.. now, if u wanna spend that kinda money on a mid size luxury saloon, would u wanna spend it on a honda n turn down that rounded blue n white logo, or that 3 pointed star??

How much is the roadtax for 3.5l vtech engine car? A new RL is still a lot cheaper than a new 5 series, Lexus of the equivalent specs. It is designed to compete with other luxury brands, but it looks better and has an engine that will . Mercs look oversized, more like obese car except for the new C-class, but is that a luxury car in the first place. Current BMW range is more of a design failure. Only the current 6 series looks good. BMW's used to look good...before the main designer died and replaced with a person who designed the Fiat coupe. Previous, 5, 3 series are look better than current series.

This one la.

well...my area at ss2 thr got 1 hondal egend but is old model..n few months b4 i saw 1 new model of honda legend at 1u parking lot

Looks are subjective. Personally I love Bangle's Beemers, right from his very first 7 series that made people vomit back in 2002. His eagle eyed E60 5 series caused an uproar too but that design has become timeless; and after 3 years since it's first release it still looks very futuristic and striking when put alongside same class competitors such as the mundane E class and the bulky A6.

Back to the Legend. It's a pity that this car failed to gain enough popularity, and even over here in Australia it is such as rare sight compared to Accord Euro which floods the streets. The brand name is not as solid as the traditional powerhouses like BMW, Benz, and Audi; but even the Lexus managed to carve out a portion of the luxury market for itself. Maybe if Honda starts a new brand like Toyota did with Lexus it might have more success, perhaps.

I remember one issue of Autocar magazine (last year's I think) which reviewed the Legend. It was a superb car, but one of the cons from the review was that the fuel consumption was appalling especially when compared to same segment rivals (mainly the Lexus). That might be one of the reasons that the Legend is not popular.


The rear end is SO SEXY...

I still think the Legend is much more sleek than the 2008 Accord which sprouts weird lines all over the body.

this one is accord euro-R

590hp 4.0l engine
Wow... i'm speechless

how the hell did they squeeze out more than 100hp in 1L?

thats nothing. Wankel rotary can get more from smaller capacity. The big question is how come american cars get so little power from such a big engine
Mugen Legend looks nice too.
