1991 Acura Legend L Coupe on 2040-cars
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
“Wow, that’s a lot for a 24 year old Acura” At first glance that’s what I would think too- but words
don’t do this car justice and this 2 owner car isn’t for just anybody. This
beauty is probably best suited for either the Honda NA museum or someone who had
a Legend at one time in the past and would like to relive those days. If you
could walk into an Acura dealership and buy a Legend this car is what you would
drive off the showroom floor. This car has always been garaged when not being driven,
hidden from UV rays, never seen snow and rarely seen rain. During the winters
while stored it was started and ran monthly. The original owner is the mother
of my NSX tech, an Acura factory trained master tech. Frankly part of the
reason I bought the car in the first place is that it is that it was impeccably
maintained, is gorgeous and is the same color combo as my NSX- red with tan- so
they look awesome sitting together. This Legend L with a dealer-installed rear spoiler is as
close as you can get to LS trim, the only difference being the black side
moldings that are body color on the LS. It has soft-close doors like my wife’s Phaeton,
leather interior, dealer-installed wind deflector and sheepskin seat covers. The
paint is original with no accidents or repaints. About 3 years ago to update the look I tinted the windows,
installed lowering springs and larger more modern 18” wheels to bring this
classic design current. The original wheels are included, have no curb rash and
are in the same condition as the rest of this 36K classic. The newer wheels
have a couple small blemishes on the curb side. This car could easily be
returned to as new with minimal effort. The interior is as outstanding as the exterior. The front
seats have always been covered with OEM sheepskin covers except when the
leather was being cleaned and conditioned. A picture shows the driver’s seat bottom and
side bolsters uncovered to show the like new condition of the original seats. Pictures
show the car with a new set of OEM floormats in place (purchased with the car
new) as well as the originals which have always been shampooed and are in
perfectly acceptable condition themselves. I actually prefer the look of the
originals as the new, unused mats just look too perfect if there is such a
thing. This car can be driven anywhere in high style and comfort. Everything operates and functions as it should
and as new. Occasionally the ABS light comes on; a restart clears this and I
haven’t bothered to look any further into it since it clears itself. The only cosmetic
blemishes on this car are minimal rock chips on the grill garnish (not the hood
itself), one on the front bumper cover and a small area on the rear cover
(pictured). The front chips will be easily touched up and a decision on the
rear will be up to the next owner. So that’s about it. Nothing forces the sale of this car
besides too many horses in the corral. With an original price of 34K after
dealer options, I don’t think the asking price is unreasonable for the right
buyer who wants a virtually brand new, meticulously maintained 24 year old
timeless classic that you simply can’t walk into a dealership and buy today. Thanks

The 2017 Acura NSX will cost $156,000
Fri, Dec 18 2015Back in October, when our Editor-in-Chief Mike Austin drove the 2017 Acura NSX for the first time in the Bay Area and at Sonoma Raceway, we guessed that the hybrid supercar would start at around the $170,000 price point. We weren't that far off – it starts at $156,000, and tops out around $205,000. But now that we have a solid sense of what Acura thinks this car is worth, and we know what they benchmarked the NSX against, we can compare apples to apples. Let's be clear: we like this car. Austin described it as "makes you giggle" fast, everyday-comfortable, and chock full of impressive party tricks like seamless shifting – with only a few foibles, like numb steering, to spoil the illusion of perfection. Back to the benchmarked cars. Acura says the NSX will compete with the Audi R8, and was developed to compete with the now-superseded 458 Italia. Let's start with the 2017 R8 V10 Plus – pricing hasn't been released, and a direct Euro-to-USD conversion isn't the whole story, but it starts at the equivalent of $179,000 in Europe. For that, the R8 V10 Plus provides 610 horsepower, a seven-speed DCT, and a 3.2-second sprint to 60 mph. The 458's successor, the 488 GTB, should be more expensive than the $243,000 the old model started at, and provides 661 hp, a seven-speed dual-clutch, and a 0-60 time of around three seconds (official numbers haven't been released for acceleration). For less money than either of these cars, the NSX delivers ... less. Total system output is 573 hp. It has a slight edge in gear count, at nine speeds, and should beat the R8 to 60 mph. But there's no V10, let alone Ferrari's feral turbocharged V8. It'll be up to buyers to determine if the compromises involved are worth a few thousand dollars in savings, if no options are selected. It should also be noted that Acura describes this as its first "built-to-order" vehicle, but the limited external color options and interior schemes don't appear to be much different than the extent to which you can customize an Accord. The configurator goes live on February 25th, if you want to see for yourself. Lastly, in what now seems to be a necessary part of a new high-end car launch, Acura will auction off VIN 001, the first production NSX, at Barrett-Jackson in January. All proceeds from that auction will benefit two charities: the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and Camp Southern Ground.

Acura MDX design lead details the crossover from beginning to today
Thu, Nov 19 2020Catalin Matei, principal designer at Acura, was the exterior design lead for the original 2001 MDX and had the same job for the new MDX Prototype. That’s just plain cool, and it makes him the MDX person of record when it comes to design. Thankfully, Acura put him in front of a camera with the original and the new Prototype to talk design. That video is at the top of this post. MateiÂ’s background gives him a unique perspective on how MDX design has changed throughout the years. In the video, he walks us through his and AcuraÂ’s thinking and rationale for the three-row crossoverÂ’s design both then and now. ItÂ’s a great watch, as you learn how AcuraÂ’s crossover design philosophy has changed over the years. Where the original design tried to be elegant and clean, the new MDX takes a stab at sportiness and performance. This line of thinking is in tune with all of AcuraÂ’s most recent designs following the “Precision Crafted Performance” mantra. 2001 Acura MDX View 11 Photos Specifics on how the carÂ’s design has changed are called out by Matei. For example, grille design — itÂ’s much bigger now! The character line that wrapped around the original MDX has moved upward in the new MDX. This gives the new crossover a broad-shouldered and strong look that the old MDX just didnÂ’t have. And you probably wouldÂ’ve never guessed this, but the bodyside sculpting was inspired by the rocks in the Antelope Canyon. WeÂ’re not totally convinced. One downside from the slick and “sporty” design may be unintentionally called out. The third row of seats is almost entirely shrouded by the body, as opposed to the massive windows in the original MDX. Those in the rearmost seats will have a much more claustrophobic experience than everybody else in the car. If you want all the details we know about the upcoming next-gen MDX, check out our reveal post here. Also, bookmark this page. WeÂ’ll check back in with Matei 20 years from now for the 2040 Acura MDX reveal. Related gallery: MDX Prototype View 35 Photos
2015 Acura NSX burns to the ground at the 'Ring [w/video]
Thu, Jul 24 2014Assuming all goes to plan, automakers test their vehicles to the breaking point in the months and years leading up to that vehicle's actual release into the public. Which is good, because it's much better for a car to break in glorious fashion in the hands of the company that produces it than in the driveway of an owner who just spent their hard-earned cash to get it. Such was the case with this production-guise Acura NSX prototype that we saw running around the Nurburgring just the other day. We can't be 100-percent certain, but the burned-out carcass is wearing the same number plate as the car that was spotted earlier, so it's likely the very same NSX. We have no idea what was the cause of the blaze that turned this Acura into the car-b-q you see pictured above, but our spy shooters on the ground in Germany say it was not involved in any collision, having caught on fire all on its own with engineers behind the wheel. The good news is that nobody was hurt, though the car is quite clearly a complete loss. We're sure there's another ready to to test in the burned car's place... just as soon as the engineers at Honda figure out exactly what went wrong. Have a look at the smoldering aftermath up above, and feel free to scroll down below to see a video of the car in much better circumstances.
