Honda's flagship sedan had a brief official run in SA in the late 2000s, offering a 3.5 V6 with SH-AWD all-wheel drive and generous kit for less than the German rivals. Badge appeal kept sales tiny and the model quietly disappeared around 2010. Used Legends are cheap V6 luxury, though some parts take time to source.
