I feel kind of sorry for the 683 people who bought a Legend in the past year
and a half, because another new one is just around the corner (as if resale
values of Legends wasn't bad enough).

Apparently, the styling was considered a little bland and Honda have
practically redesigned the entire car, except the doors/roof. Personally I
think it's a *huge* improvement. It also features a larger 3.7L V6 with 224
kW (up from 217 kW) and 371 Nm torque versus 351 Nm previously. I think the
styling really sets it apart from the Accord, even though it's still fairly
similar in size. At 74k versus Accord V6 Luxury at 47k, you have to wonder
if it's worth the extra 27k. The Legend has AWD of course, and now slightly
more power (but it's a much heavier vehicle so it needs it). Is that
enough?
