[Legend]

Hi all, I'm new. I currently own a '92 Acura Legend and looking to get the IS300 soon. I think i'll wait it out thru the winter before buying thou. At the same, I'm also wondering if I should get the 1995 Legend Coupe. I know this is a Lex forum, but I think we all can agree the Legend is a classic, one of the few cars Honda did right.
The '95 Coupe would be around $19.5k, it looks awesome still and perform equally well (230 horses) in most aspects. Finally, being a current Legend owner, i know it'll last FOREVER. Any advice on which ones I should get? thanx in advance.

mryuen, o my gosh, ur cars are BEAUTIFUL! great taste!! either car would break necks on the road. believe me, I have been to every legend forum there is and has read most of the posts here as well. the legend has definitely spoiled me but i know that my next car should be a IS since its new (the '95 coupe legends are around 50-60k miles). Rite now though, if i could have two cars within my budgets, it'd be that SBM is300 u have and a black legend coupe'95.
I actually started off lookin at a CL-S. but after coming to this forum and doing some research, that's TOTALLY out of the question. Thanx 2 Mr.Clam, I'm also thinking about a M3 as well.

o yah, and i havn't test driven the is300 yet. my biggest fear is that i won't last thru the winter if i get a test drive in that car. I keep hearing how fun it is to drive it and if i do, i'll develope an itch and suffer thru out the winter!
either that or i'll end up buying one as soon as i testdrive and have my new car suffers thru the horrible snow/ice/salt of the VA winters. arg!

geoff, hehe, i maybe new here but i know one thing can lead to another when it comes to a CL-S discussion with you. I'll tell you this, as a fellow Acura owner, I dont dispise honda the way some lex owners here do. In fact, the CL actually looks some wut like the 93-95 legends. Yes i DID testdrive the car, it is good in every sense and i believe at its value, it is a GOOD buy for ALOTA people. HOWEVER, the car (while fast) is not that much different from what i've seen from acura after the legend years. I'm still looking for that DISTINGUISHED acura car and the CLs isn't it. like the tl, rl, it is good but it is too normal. the IS is nothing like the rest of the lexus line, and it absolutely stands out from the crowd, ANY crowd.
dont get me wrong, the cl is a good car, just not what I'M looking for. BTW, it also didn't help that the ACURA dealers here won't budge a penny from their MSRP of $32k w/ nav. this is the same dealership where my current legend comes from. I mean, man, you are not going to develop any loyalty treating your existing customers like that.
the lexus dealer is right next door and i know that the second i drive that IS300, i'll be in love. its just that simple for me..

the legend coupe's days are over?
i really donno how u can say that, the car is not only already a classic, but its style's so far ahead of its time, it is STILL the best looking acura on the road today (next to the NSX of course). as for mc hammer, are you thinkin about the 1st generations? we are talkin about the 94-95 ones. and Hammer's long gone by then.

golden, as for the dealership, i testdrove back in sept. in our area, this car was THAT hot. it was actually CHEAPER back in may. but after all the good reviews came out. ppl all tried to get one and therefore the prices were jacked up. I actually got a call last week from the same dealership asking me to go back. but i'm not gonna do that, gonna wait it out for a 2002 iS
