HONDA Legend Coupe · photos, packages and modifications

Co-produced with the Austin Group, the Honda Legend had definite similarities to the Rover 800. At first, the car was developed as a sedan and released into the market, as such. However, the coupe was added later. It had two rivals in the market at the time of its production, which included the Toyota Crown and Nissan Cedric. The first Acura model sold in the United States was under the name of the Acura Legend. The first generation of this vehicle was launched into the market in 1988, which was around 3 years after the development of the sedan version. The first generation of the vehicle included ABS, driver airbag, traction control, as well as seat belt pre-tensioners. It is important to point out that such features were not common in those years.

The second generation was released in Japan with the name of "Super Legend". This was because of the fact that the engine was significantly bigger than the first generation's engine. The mechanics of other Honda machines, especially the Honda NSX were tested with the platform of the Legend. Transmission options included a 4-speed automatic version in Japan, but for other countries and for export purposes, there was a 5-speed manual version. The car was restyled in 1992, which mainly included a facelift, which was quite minor.
