The Integra is the less-expensive model, targeted for the ~13k range. The Legend, of course, is their Bimmer-killer, priced about 20k, 2 liter standard with a 2.5L 24-valve 6 (~150hp) optional. Somebody reviewed one recently; only complaint was absolute brake fade despite 4-wheel discs. -dave -- David Hsu Communication & Signal Processing Lab, EE Department University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 hsu@eneevax.umd.edu {seismo,allegra}!umcp-cs!eneevax!hsu CF522@UMDD.BITNET "Vern Vern Vern Vern Vern Vern Vern, you've done it now, buddy..." -Ernest P.
