Honda's refresh of the Legend in Japan for 2011 has added a couple of new things. Expect to see the 6-speed automatic transmission make its way on the Legend as well as revised styling for the wheels. The big update is that there is a new noise reduction technology being added to the Legend/RL in the form of an in-wheel resonator that suppresses rough road sound by a mechanism that absorbs resonance. On the inside there is a change of colors and a tweak of button placement and an upgraded NAVI/HDD resolution/display is also on its way.
Watch for these changes to make their way onto the 2011 RL here in US/Canada.
