1996 Honda Legend

[Dudee]

Hi, has anybody ever seen/drive a HONDA LEGEND? Is this a local unit or imported?

Ok ba ang car? Ok ba ang ride? Parts availability?

[alwayz_yummy]

havent driven 1 kasi sa napaka-rare nyang unit na yan, lalo na sa used car market. kahit nilabas locally yan as a japan-CBU unit ng honda phil for almost 1-2 years lang, hirap makahanap ng owner who sell their LEGEND.

honda legend is one of the top-end line ng honda, alam ko full options to nung nilabas, at 3.0 v6 ang makina. as for parts, be prepared ka sa kasa ka lang makakakuha, kasi unlike the 1996 odyssey na nilabas din locally biglang dumami ang japan surplus kaya boom din ang parts...

ang isa pang konting nilabas ng honda is HRV--> d16(1.6L PGM-FI), real-time 4wd, compact and fuel efficient pero nabiktima to ng 'ancient' tax scheme ng pina->advalorem! for its price, makakabili ka na ng bigger, new model, mas kilalang at mas matakaw na 2wd-CR-V na AUV-ized...

may nakita kang unit for sale na LEGEND?

I've seen Acura Legends in the US but here in the P.I. not yet. Its imported and a luxury sedan.

yup that an acura in the US, pero nilabas dito sa pinas under the honda badge..anywayz, honda and acura are just sister comapnies,right?

Correct. Acura is some sort of a luxury division of Honda, just like Infiniti with Nissan, and Lexus with Toyota.

[alwayz_yummy]

for me acura is just the americanized version of honda, wherein ung luxury/top-end line-up nila un ang ginamit na brand...just like toyota's lexus

pero infiniti, talaga luxury division ng nissan..

ay OT na...

Hi, yun fren ko nag-aalok ng Legend nila sa akin. Mahal nga lang. They got their LEGEND at 2.6 M daw nung 1996, locally and there only 10 units LEGEND in the phils. Kaya baka wala talagang parts availability.

[Horsepower]

Those 10 people who bought the 10 Legends *2.6M must be out of their mind. 2.6M back in 1996 is a high-end 3-series BMW or Mercedes-Benz already.

I have seen Two Honda Legends inside our Subdivision no less!!!

Nakakita ako nito sa Honda Libis way back when my bro was getting a brand new Civic ESI several years back, hindi ako magtataka kung bakit flop yan dito sa Pinas kasi mas mahal pa yan kesa sa kasabayan nyan na BMW 5 series (E34) and Mercedes Benz E-class (the last of the w124's).
