Test drove the Legend yesterday. It's very nice, very solid with lots of toys to play with. The doors feel heavy and the car felt very tight. It handles wonderfully, and it's fun but almost distracting watching the SHAWD indicators on the dash when gunning it thru tight corners. The 3.5 feels very progressive in its power, but you do need to boot it hard and keep the revs up for best performance. This is where the 3.0 in the Accord feels alot more responsive off the line as it is a smaller & lighter car, without the extra bulk of AWD. Is the Legend worth the extra premium over an Accord V6 Luxury? Personally I don't think so, but it is still a damn nice driving machine and if I were looking for a large luxury car for my family, the value of the Legend does beat the Germans hands down.
