Acura rolled out the 2009 RL at the Chicago Auto Show, so the appearance of the Honda version of the car, badged Legend, isn’t the most searingly-hot news. What is frightfully obvious when you set eyes on the Legend is that the Honda version looks about a billion times better without the shield-style grille that afflicts the Acura in the most tacked-on fashion.

My plan: drive the metallic blue BMW 128i Convertible down to San Diego. I could’ve clichéd down the coast, stopping off in Yorba Linda to do donuts in the parking lot of the Nixon Library. That’s what a sensible person would do. But the true masochist always chooses the route less traveled. So, straight from the heart of Hollywood, I loaded up the Bimmer’s minuscule trunk, saddled my semi-potent Deutsche-steed and set off through the seriously Lynchian Inland Empire.

The Hyundai Azera, the Korean automaker’s premium sedan, is now entering its third season, and the accolades are still rolling in. For the second year in a row, Azera scored a first-place finish in the J.D. Power and Associates Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, and in its Strategic Vision Total Quality Award. That’s after landing a second-place (but still ahead of the Toyota Avalon) in Power’s 2006 Initial Quality Study. (more…)
