This was.. and in some ways still is, one of the hottest sport coupes of all times.
The Acura Legend, (sold as the Honda Legend outside the U.S.), was a sporty luxury vehicle sold from 1986 to 1995 as both a sedan and a coupe. It was one of the first vehicles sold under the Acura nameplate, and was the top-spec sedan under the Acura nameplate until being replaced in 1996 by the Acura 3.5RL (Real Lame).

'It takes confidence to name a car the Legend. If it had been forgettable with nothing legendary about it, Acura could have found itself derided for the irony. It would have forever become the butt of automotive jokes, or worse, part of an Alanis Morissette song. Luckily for Honda's luxury division, its bravado paid off with the Acura Legend, a car that's still held in high regard years after it bowed out in favor of an ironically forgettable replacement. - via Edmunds

I once new a guy who had one of these. Who's wife had to fight off robbers with a shovel one night as they tried to steal the cars doors.. ???? Anyway. Anyone that I know that has ever owned one? Loved them.

Finding one in good condition now is very hard and I bet that finding an owner willing to part with it even more difficult.
Damn I miss this car.
A Legend in it's time.
(Get it? Acura Legend? Legend in it's.. oh nevermind.)
