Wow, so the car is based on a 1991 donor car with 252K miles!

Great to know its not a ground up new car but based on the original.

I saw the Captain America movie last night ... Acura must have a deal for the whole marvel series as at the end there was a scene with the new MDX 4x4

From the video I wonder how long before someone in the US makes 'that' bodykit to allow for early cars to be face lifted ??

Audi for the last Iron man thing I think, just whoever is stumping up the cash, I'd like Kia next time, so he has to rock up in a C'eed. :D

Star in a reasonably priced car comes to mind

I thought I had personal use of that analogy on this site lol!

It looks a lot like one that Route KS made.

saw avengers assemble last night ...decent movie ... but dont be expecting any major scenes with the prototype nsx. couple of quick frame shots and thats all

however during the show a particular shot of a smashed up acura 4x4 stayed on screen longer ... go figure?!

Presumably it improved the goofy grille.

Dunno the shot was taken from behind the 4x4!

•Expected to go on sale in the US in 2015 - badged as an Acura

I dunno whether to applaud their honesty about badge-engineering, or suggest the killing of the entire marketing dept. No wonder Accurist is such a joke brand.

The cars are better than they look, but the marketing is appalling.

Whatever, at least one can now look at HUK's webite without the danger of fatal boredom setting in instantaneously.

Lets hope the advertising is like it used to be!

Honda used to win adverts awards, remember the Accord one.

Hmmm no uk release date. Need to get some price and performance figures out, 2015 is a long way off so what are they up to

TSO,

Remember the Accord, let alone the utterly brilliant 'Cog'!

The rumour is that at the end of the current model's cycle, Honda's giving up trying in the D-segment saloon car market, defeated by the might of the German marketing propaganda machine.

Nick, Accord aside, the Legend seems like a really good car, just never sold in big numbers
& as correctly pointed out, struggled against the German market leaders! Also a tad too
expensive when new.
