Acura Legend 2nd Gen

The second-generation Acura Legend, launched for 1991, was Honda's definitive statement in the luxury market. It featured an all-new platform with a longitudinally mounted 3.2L V6, a first for a front-wheel-drive Honda, to improve weight distribution. Available as a stylish sedan or a sleek coupe, the Legend was praised for its bank-vault build quality, advanced features, and exceptionally smooth powertrain, directly challenging its German competitors.

Collectors appreciate the Legend for its '90s Japanese engineering and design excellence. The coupe, with its pillarless hardtop design and styling cues shared with the NSX, is particularly desirable. The introduction of a 230 hp Type II engine and a 6-speed manual transmission for coupes in 1993 created the most sought-after variants. These cars represent a peak era for Honda and are remembered as one of the best luxury cars of their time.

Today's market reflects this hierarchy. While average examples are very affordable, with 72 sales averaging just $11,895, the best cars command strong prices. Pristine, low-mileage 6-speed coupes can sell for over $30,000, demonstrating a dedicated enthusiast following. For buyers looking for a reliable '90s classic, the Legend offers an incredible amount of car for the money.

Prices for the second-generation Acura Legend range from $4,000 for project cars to over $32,000 for exceptional, low-mileage coupes.
