I LOVE this Acura Legend L Coupe, which is why I've decided to let it try to find a better home. I've had it exactly two months (two weeks of which I was out of the country), but after driving very nervously and parking very carefully, I've realized that this RARE GEM needs to belong to someone who can treat it as a "special" car, not their "only" car (like me). This may be the next best thing to buying from the original owner -- here's the history as I understand it: the first couple bought the Legend new in Sunnyvale, CA, and took delivery with seat covers installed. They then moved to one of the Hawaiian Islands and lived there for nearly 20 years. They didn't drive much (obviously -- 33K miles in 22 years!), always used the sunshield, and always kept it garaged. I'd be surprised if anyone has even been in the back seat! They then moved and had it shipped back to California, decided they needed a larger car, and sold to a young man who treated it like an investment and kept it warehoused except for a couple short road trips. He then (reluctantly) put it on Craigslist and -- as the former owner of a 1990 red Acura Legend coupe -- I was delighted to find it! However, I've since realized this lovely Legend SHOULD'NT be someone's only car, it's too-nearly perfect. After picking it up, I immediately took it in to Marin Acura for 30,000-mile service. The only problem they diagnosed was the windshield washer motor and tank needed to be replaced. I then discovered that it was a little hard to start when the engine was hot, and Marin Acura diagnosed a fuel injector relay problem which they also replaced. It's now in excellent mechanical condition and EVERYTHING works -- all the switches, seat levers, power locks and windows, trunk button, sunroof, antenna, etc. The second owner installed new tires and replaced the (buzzing, paper) rear speakers -- everything is clean & original, right down to the leather key cases! I'm keeping it garaged during this auction so the mileage and condition remain unchanged. May this beautiful Legend find its way to the right home … and if it doesn't meet the reserve price, then I'll assume I'm the right home and I will do my best to relax and enjoy my beautiful ride. Available to be seen / test-driven with appointment.

Did Acura just confirm it's working on an Integra successor?

Fri, 07 Nov 2014

The Acura Integra (pictured above in Type R trim) was one of the definitive vehicles of the Acura brand in the US, having joined the Legend at the marque's birth here. However, since the retirement of the RSX, the luxury arm of Honda has lacked a compact, sporty coupe to fill that niche. There appears to be a chance of that absence possibly coming to an end in the coming years, though.
Acura lead designer Dave Marek spoke to Car and Driver during the SEMA Show and said, "A performance brand needs a flagship and it needs an accessible sport car. Not a sports car, but a sport car." However, he also suggested that a new model wouldn't be spinning its tires too soon, at least not before 2017 by his indication.
While the vague possibility of a new sports coupe is still years away, Acura is taking its early steps in a brand revitalization campaign that includes spinning the luxury arm further away from Honda. The strong initial sales of the TLX are certainly a good start, but the work appears to just be beginning, according to Marek. "There are changes coming, and then there are more changes coming," he said to Car and Driver.

Honda protective of Type R name; NSX Type R not in the works

Wed, Feb 19 2020

During a roundtable during a recent event hosted by Honda, we joined in on a roundtable interview with Honda Technical Consultant Ko Yamamoto and Honda Civic Type R Project Leader Hideki Kakinuma. Questions were asked about the Type R brand broadly, as well as the potential for some new projects. The answers were both good news and disappointing news for Honda fans. The good news is that Honda takes the Type R name and brand very seriously. Yamamoto and Kakinuma explained that the name and its associated red "H" badge are only for vehicles with a racing connection, such as the Honda Civic Type R that has a couple of racing variants. As such, you won't be seeing a CR-V, Odyssey or Insight with the Type R name. Furthermore, the Type R name is only for Honda-badged vehicles, despite the existence of the Acura Integra Type R a couple decades ago. We also asked about the potential of an NSX Type R, which certainly meets the performance and racing credentials mentioned, but is much more of an Acura product and is badged as such in the U.S. Kakinuma and Yamamoto couldn't go into deep detail, but they said that there aren't plans for one at the moment, and the chances of one for the U.S. are unlikely. They noted that the previous NSX Type R was a Japanese-market exclusive, and if such a car did come to fruition, that might be the case yet again. Kakinuma did say that if he was the one in charge of NSX, he would have already had it in the works. So it's not impossible that there could be an NSX Type R in the future, but don't look for one anytime soon. Related Video:

Acura ILX Hybrid discontinued for 2015

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

Earlier today, Acura issued a press release detailing its entry-level 2015 ILX range, but something was missing. Honda's luxury arm listed all of the information about the naturally aspirated 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter ILX models, but nothing was said about the Hybrid - a model that, when we reviewed it in 2013, left us utterly cold. But now we know why: Acura has confirmed to Autoblog that the ILX Hybrid will be discontinued for the 2015 model year.
The company issued the following statement to us regarding the hybrid's demise:
The 2015 ILX remains a standout choice in the entry premium segment with its combination of performance, luxury, refinement and value and is the top-selling luxury vehicle to younger buyers. Based on the stronger appeal of the ILX 2.0 and 2.4 models, we are streamlining the ILX lineup to better align with customer demand, Acura will no longer offer the ILX Hybrid starting with the 2015 model year.
