Sure, but why stop there. Get a Mazda 6, or a Maxima, or even an Altima. They are nearly comperable to the Acura....and you can save another 5 or 7 K off the price of a Acura. What is more is neither of those vehicles have the long, long, long ....long history of trans troubles that the Acura has!!!!
(Even Ford got rid of their trans troubles abour 20 years ago)
Oooops. Sorry. Forgot myself!!!!
Right.......leave it alone....Acura is Mercedes...merc is ac..r.. Sleeeeeep, dream good thoughs.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

2006 Acura RL - Aspec rims/spoiler, JDM grille
In all honesty, I believe both are great cars. What it comes down to is personal preference. This debate could go on and on, just as if we were to debate about which ice cream flavor is the best.
The Legend IMO is one of the best cars that Acura had produced(and the NSX). It's a shame they seemed to take a few steps backwards after introducing the RL. (I've owned both). A pristine Legend coupe with the Type-II 230hp motor is a 10 year old car I'd pounce on if I had the chance.
I also considered a TL since my friend just purchased one. Granted, he may have more features (i.e. bluetooth, DVD-audio etc..), but the main thing is I'm happy with my C230K sedan. That's the bottom line right?

on the other hand, people who like acuras may not like a rolex because it's heavy and overpriced. they may prefer a low maintenance watch like a seiko better.
