You are correct, Acura has lost a BIG edge because they no longer have their own platforms for their cars. I remember the Acura Legend and even the first generation Acura TL being such good cars. Now a days they are all based on some sort of Family style Honda Accord Platform. You take one for a test drive and it feels soooo cheap for the price. I would hands down drive one of the second generation Acura Legends till this day if they made them like they used too.
