San Clemente, California, United States

This is a rare opportunity to own a like-new example of Acura’s top of the line luxury sport sedan in Garnet Red
Pearl which is 100% original. I am the second owner and like the first owner, I have meticulously maintained this
car to keep it showroom quality. It still smells like new. The interior has been kept protected by all things
ranging from a dash mat, rubber floor mats, and $325 custom made front seat covers by Wet Okole. I drive it so
infrequently, the car is practically sterile. (weekends only).
I should note that any paint flaw you think you see in the picture is more than likely a reflection from the
polish. I could rant and rave about how this car looks like it just emerged from a time capsule but only seeing it
in person does it any justice.
For those of you who have never had the pleasure of driving a Legend before, the engineers at Acura knew exactly
what they were doing when they crafted the powerful 3.2L V6 engine. The Legend is wonderful to drive! Under
acceleration the characteristic growl of the Acura V-6 is amazing. At cruise the car is smooth and quiet.
In terms of its mechanical reliability, this car gets an A+. Although the usual timing belt/water pump change
interval is usually 80k miles. I have already gone ahead and had those components replaced as a preventative
measure. Because as you may know, rubber can still crack over time regardless of use. Oil and filter are new and I
make sure to keep it that way. It also has like new Michelin MXV4 tires which make the car ride extremely smooth
and quiet. Air conditioning blows ice cold, like it should. If you're a connoisseur of the Acura Legend, your
search may be over.
While I'm not in any particular hurry to part with this machine, I've come to the conclusion that I have too many
vehicles already and this beauty doesn't do me any good being the "eye candy" that I drive on weekends, so while
I'm reluctantly posting it for sale, I am ready to find it a new home.
I know it's a tired old saying, but whoever ends up buying this car is getting one hell of an automobile.
Now you have the chance to own an incredible piece of classic Japanese luxury.
NOTE: Vehicle is also subject to local sale.

NSX Concept-GT is the world's hottest way to boil water
Sat, 05 Oct 2013The Honda NSX Concept-GT is one sexy machine, and it looks to be a very effective tool on a race circuit. But Honda's latest web spot leads us to believe that it also can be used to make tea.
In the video, the racecar is hooked up to an apparatus that uses tubing to harness the energy from the car's 500-horsepower hybrid drive system, using it to boil water. The novel tea-making technique reminds us a bit of a couple other inventive Honda commercials, namely Hands and Cog.
Watch the NSX ad below, and be sure to turn the sound up to hear that glorious engine note.
Ludacris discusses Fast and Furious 7 and his 1993 Acura Legend
Tue, 13 May 2014It's easy to think of most wealthy celebrities as egotistical, materialistic individuals who own a Ferrari for every day of the week. The reality, though, is often much less severe. See, they can get attached to things, like cars, just like normal folks. Take Alfred Morris, for example. A 22-year-old running back with the Washington Redskins. Morris still drives the 1991 Mazda 626 that he had in college, despite a healthy $2.2 million contract.
Rapper/actor Ludacris is an even more extreme example of automotive loyalty. With an estimated net worth of over $70 million, Luda has the money for his own private plane. Yet that wealth doesn't stop him from regularly driving the 1993 Acura Legend he has had since before he found fame.
Ludacris, whose real name is Chris Bridges, recently discussed his old Acura during an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneris Show to promote his new album. It sounds like he's put 10,000 miles on the trusty sedan since it last popped up online less than a year ago, so it's pretty clear that he drives it on the regular. In fact, Ludacris says he still pens new songs sitting inside it, just like he used to back in the day when he was starting out.
Honda planning sub-NSX S2000 successor
Tue, 13 May 2014Nine years separated the arrival of the original Acura NSX and the Honda S2000. By that time, the NSX was closer to the end of its fifteen-year production cycle than it was to its beginning. The latest word has it that not only is Honda planning a successor to the S2000, but it's not about to wait that long after the new NSX arrives before it's rolled out.
While the S2000 was a front-mid-engined roadster, its successor will, according to the latest from Auto Express (which we are taking with a grain of salt), be a mid-engined coupe - closer, in other words, to the NSX than the S2000. Power would come from a more potent version of the 2.0-liter turbo four developed for the upcoming new Civic Type R, possibly as part of a hybrid system derived from Honda's upcoming Formula One powertain to develop over 400 horsepower.
Whether the new sports car would revive the S2000 nameplate, and whether it would wear the Honda or Acura badge in the United States, remain to be seen. As does its potential production site: while the previous S2000 was built at the same Takanezawa plant in Tochigi as the original NSX, the new NSX will be built at the new Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio. The new S660 roadster, meanwhile, is set to be assembled at the same Yachiyo plant in Yokkaichi as the original Honda Beat.
