The Acura Legend Coupe is
one of the most sophisticated
automobiles on the road. Its . form-
idable 27 liter, 24-valve, V-6 engine
is managed by a full complement
of microprocessors, including an
8-bit wizard for the programmed
fuel injection alone. The available
Anti-Lock Braking* (ALB) system
features a sensor at each wheel
that feeds information to a com-
puterized control center to detect
and prevent impending lockup.
Even the available Automatic Cli-
mate Control System employs a
central processing unit to evaluate
information from five sensors to
keep the cabin environment just
right. Why not investigate all the
performance features of the ex-
traordinary Legend Coupe by
arranging for a test drive. It's the
smart thing to do.
