Default Will CL remain in Acura Lineup?

Hi all...

I'm a former '97 CL owner that sold & purchased a 3 Series last April. I still visit here occassionally cause my wife has a V6 Accord Coupe that she loves.

I haven't seen too many CLs around lately here in NJ and was curious what Acura/Honda's plans are for the future of this vehicle?

With the new TSX and the RSX & the nice TL does Acura really need a slow selling CL in it's lineup.

What's the word? Any rumours or 1/2 truths out there?

Thanks...

I believe they are being discontinued. Hopefully the 6spd tranny will wind up in the TL-S:thumbup:

Expect to see it back MY2005 with balls and different driving wheels. And looks to match.

You think so? I hope you are right Chris...I really liked the CL...just give it a factory body kit like the TL and I would be all over it.

Now that the TL is 3 inches shorter and might only seat 4, I dunno anymore :dunno: I'll bet Honda will toy with the idea, though. Design should come first, then engineering.

thanks for the update everyone... I am obviously not surprised.

The CL has some potential though in my view. They should bring it back in a few years as either RW Drive or All-Wheel,
put a 300+ HP engine in it & bring back some of the edge in the car that was present in the original CL Showcar. They wimped out when they brought the CL to market. I even think the 2nd G is more conservative than the 1st Generation that I owned.

Good luck w/your cars everyone! Tom
