I like the next gen better. But this was pretty good for the 80s.

V6 had the same hp as an 85 LG4. 81 trap baby. Hey, it was faster than the Cressida.
Holy shit that handling was hilarious. I guess they didn't figure out handling until the 3rd Gen. Also the 4th gen was lighter than this 2nd gen.

86 Legend. $19k, damn. That is like 50% more expensive than that 85 Maxima SE.

Honda may have beaten Nissan and Toyota to the US market with their premium brand but the Maxima and Cressida were already pretty upscale. And Acura never delivered a RWD luxury sedan.
