The '''Honda Legend''' is the Worldwide nomenclature/version of the [[Acura RL]].

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Honda Legend Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===
* For 2009, the Honda Legend receives its first mid-cycle facelift, which may or may not foreshadow an updated [[Acura RL|RL]]. The executive Sedan now sports a 3.7 litre VTEC V6 compared to the previous 3.5. All this newfound power will be managed via an all-new paddle-shifted 5-speed transmission and the result are improved fuel efficiency, lower CO2 figures while still allowing the Legend to hurtle from 0-60 in 7.1 seconds, a 0.2 second improvement.[http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/09/2009-honda-legend-euro-market-acura-rl.html]
