I've heard that Acura will stop making the CL when the new TL comes out. Now tell me is this true or just a mere rummor?

sounds like a rumor... seeing how they are planning the re-design for the CL....
The CL and TL are 2 different cars... CL being the coupe, TL being the sedan... they wont keep the TL and rid of the CL...

With the advent of the 2003 Accord EX V6 six speed manual trans, the CL-S in it's current form may be redundant in Honda's lineup. The Accord six speed will have leather heated seats, remote security, traction control, six disc in-dash changer, and 240 HP (250 if you use 93 octane!), not to mention, more aerodynamic and weigh less. All for 26,000.00. Yes, you read that right. Now, the CL-S in its current form is built on the 2002 Accord chasis, which is now old technology. There is nothing written in stone on the CL-S's demise, but it would not surprise me, if for similar performance and features you can spend five grand less within the same car company and get more car (curtain air bags as well).

None of those were options, i think for the accord if you want this and that you will have to add stuff on and the 5 grand difference drops to around 2k. Besides you can walk into acura and get a new CLS for around 32000 out the door easy.

I doubt they would get rid of the cl for the accord. This is because althoug the accord will have luxury, it will have no where near as much luxury as the current cl. Plus, cl-type s performance is already more than that of the upcoming accord. Whyt would they go down instead of up. I believe that the new Cl Type-S will have atleast 280hp.
