sounds good, but why have the honda legend name ? as far as i know they stopped making the legend in 96 for the us and in europe it was the 3.5 RL. i don't think the legend was ever an accord based cal like this one is now

[Accord Man]

You might have noticed the Accord from North America replaced the Acura TL in Japan as the new inspire, you know the new TL was probably going to replace the Legend. Also since the Legends sales were like nothing in Japan the car had to be good.

And so here it is!

Those specs sound really nice and the car doesn't look bad either. So I take it you got some sort of sneak peak JP?

Well these pics are off the net.. But I have a couple of people who are very well connected.. I have a buddy at Paisley, basically anything Honda/Toyota/Nissan I find out before most..
My friend's girlfriend is japanese.. Her sister is still in Japan and works for Nissan. She's really sweet and keeps us well informed Enough said.. Oh and I know a guy who works for Honda motor co (of America) -- marketing.. He's a car person like us.. So, everytime we meet thats obviously all we talk about.

that car is awesome and it's not that expensive. If any one has pics of the interior hook it up.:)
