"The Return of a LEGEND!"

The 2010 Acura Legend will be an all-new V8 luxury sedan with SH-AWD. It will assume the role as Acura's flagship model. The Legend Type-S - coming in 2011 - will use the V10 engine from the all-new NSX.

Well... I can dream can't I?!

Craig!! :o)

Sorry but if Acura is a luxury brand, so is BUick and Hyundai....its amazing to see them digress and not progress :( Who wasn't a fan of the old Legend and Intergra? Great cars.
