Honda Legend Facelift
2009 Honda Legend
The Moscow auto show will debut the Euro spec 2009 Honda Legend, featuring a new face lift. North America will see the Legend in the form of the 2009 Acura RL which was previewed at the Chicago auto show earlier this year. The European model does have a bigger front grill as well as revised lights, bonnet, front fenders, boot lid, bumpers and standard 18? wheels. Under the hood, the 3.5L V6 is replaced with a new 3.7L plus new exhaust side VTEC, putting out an even 300hp - 220kW which translates to a 20% increase in mid-range torque and a 0-60 time of 7.1 seconds.
Luxury and performance do not come cheap, the 2009 RL starts at $46,200 US while pricing for the Legend is not available yet, I would imagine it to be in the same range. Personally at that price point I would rather step into the Infinity G35.
