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.

2014 Acura MDX Prototype is exactly what we expected

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Yep, it's the new MDX. And despite being totally redone, it looks exactly like we expected. That is, it's an up-sized version of the RDX crossover with fancy LED lights stolen from the RLX sedan. And while that might not sound too exciting, we have to say, it is handsome - certainly a more cohesive, refined design than the angular, beak-tastic model that's currently on sale.
Acura is calling this 2014 MDX a prototype, but that's only because it isn't 100-percent finished. Everything you see here will likely carry over to production, maybe with a couple small tweaks. Under the hood is the same 3.5-liter V6 that we know and love from the Honda group, and while we don't have power figures just yet, Acura says it will deliver more torque while improving efficiency. In redesigning the MDX, the Japanese automaker has managed to lighten and stiffen the chassis, improving driving dynamics. More interestingly, for the first time Acura will offer a front-wheel-drive version of the MDX, but don't worry, the automaker's SH-AWD all-wheel drive will be available.
Inside, the usual smattering of tech goodies will be on hand, including the next-generation AcuraLink system, satellite radio, tons of comfort amenities and every single alphabetic safety device known to man (okay, maybe not all of them).

Honda recalling 204k CR-V, Odyssey, Acura RDX models over rollaway risk

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Honda has announced a recall over a possible rollaway risk that affects 204,169 crossover and minivan models. The specific vehicles in question are the 2012-13 Honda CR-V and Odyssey, as well as the 2013 Acura RDX.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "the brake-shift interlock blocking mechanism may become slow and allow the gear selector to be moved from the Park position without pressing the brake pedal." In other words, these vehicles could unintentionally roll away.
NHTSA states that this scenario may only happen during sub-freezing temperatures, but notes that this means the vehicles fail to conform with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 114: Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention. Honda will notify owners of the problem, and dealerships will install an updated interlocking mechanism free of charge.

Acura claims MDX is best-selling luxury 3-row ever

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Business for Acura has been in a weird place, recently, and the company's latest car launches have been especially rocky. For example, the ILX Hybrid was recently discontinued after just two model years with only about 2,660 sold in that time. The company also delayed the launch of its new TLX by a few months until later this summer. However, despite its issues with sedans, the automaker's utility-vehicle business in absolutely booming. In fact, it now claims that the MDX is the best-selling three-row, luxury SUV, ever.
The MDX is already leading its class this year with 30,664 units sold through June 2014, up 68.4 percent compared 2013. Also, in five of the last six months of reported sales, Acura has posted gains. It appears that the company's utility lineup is really pushing it along.
To take the bestseller ever crown, Acura claims that through its three generations, the MDX has sold a cumulative 692,710 units. The premium model has also been at the top of the annual sales rankings for three-row luxury crossovers every year since 2002. The company believes that its nearest competitor is the Lincoln Navigator with an estimated 420,000 lifetime sales, and even arguably more comparable vehicles like the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz M-Class only have 350,000 or fewer sales under their belts. Of course, it probably doesn't hurt that the MDX has one of the lower starting prices in its class.
