Its one of these cars i've been looking at as well.
Damn sexy at the back, but a little tame at the front. I wished it would be more aggressive looking.
It sure does look nice inside... and ALOT cheaper then the german cars, but how much better then the Euro/v6 Accord? is it really $25k better (50%)? hmmmz
Well for the price of the Legend, you could get 2 Euros or 2 Accords :)Quote:

The disappointing thing with the Legend is it's Honda Australia's flagship product, yet it doesn't have Sat Nav yet (I was told not to expect it soon and it may never work!) and no bluetooth.
Pretty disappointing when the Accord Euro Lux has Sat Nav as an option and it's now standard on the Accord Lux.

i wouldnt even compare the 2! ive been drivin the V6L for a few weeks and im sick of it, id still take the euro over it, V6 and front wheel drive is shocking!Quote:

There is sat nav as standard. They just don't have the software yet.Quote:

test drove one on the weekend and all i can say is that it has a very smooth honda like power delivery but it is also one heck of a quiet car....with the radio off and windows up you cant even hear the outside IE: other cars and what not..
i give it 5 stars compared to the german counter parts
it lacks take off power but when you start cornering and braking it leaves anythig for dead,very little oversteer and understeer especially when your using the steering wheel sport shift.also have you seen how clear the reverse camera is?
is it vtec?
My mums looking at getting a legend soon, anyone know more news about the Sat Nav and whether or not they are planning on having it work at some point in time!
Seems pretty bad that the Euro & Accord have it but the legend doesnt!
and yes its vtec
The Legend is doing very well. Figures for the first full month on sale.
September:
Mercedes-Benz E-Class 191
BMW 5 Series 128
Honda Legend 43
Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 40
Lexus GS 39
Audi A6 34
Mercedes-Benz R-Class 24
Jaguar S-Type 21
Saab 95 6
Volvo V70 6

It took a big chunk out of the GS' sales.
You can't compare the Accord V6 to the Legend. It belongs in the same class as the Maxima and 380GT while the Legend is competing against the likes of the Lexus ES and GS and the Europeans.
