1st gen vs 2nd gen
Which do you think looks better? Though I have the 1st gen, I like the 2nd better : / In fact, I might be trading mine in for an 01-02, as the 2.3 auto is way to slow.

The 2nd gens had just come out when I bought my 1st gen and I thought the new body style was kind of boring.
Now the 2nd gen has grown on me and I think it looks sharp.
I think the '01 Type S rims really make the car look hot even without aftermarket rims.

2nd Gen CL's are very nice!! The look grew on me as well. I love the power of the cars. Very smooth. If you aren't happy with your 1st gen, you will be very happy with a CL-s.
I'll agree with liloj0414, but add something. 2nd gen interior and engine with a first gen exterior.

2nd gen > 1st gen
Besides the fact that they get 260 hp and a damn 6 speed, you can get navi!!!! Oh and I honestly like the body on 2nd gens better too.

Eh, I love the way the 1st gen looks, 2nd gen seems a bit boring for me. Granted I would love the 2nd gen motor/tranny and interior
Oh yeah, you can get navi in the first gen too...aftermarket :P

1st is better. the 97 looks like a 2000. kinda like when the supra
came out in 93 or 94 and it was ahead of its time.
2nd gen tranny is weaker than the 1st gen tranny also.

2600lb CL

i use to think the 1st gen CL look kinda gay and to mommy like. But then it grew on to me and now I love it. Yea, they 3.2's are nice....but as mentioned before, they do look a bit bloated....
But I did see one at the street races once, blue, with a nice, clean body kit, dropped low as hell, prob 19's, maybe 18's...and have no idea what it had, but it was smoking peeps left and right....now that 2nd gen CL i liked....

I really like the styling of the 1gen... the 2gen looks like it is to round for its own good reminds me of a ford taurus actually... but they are really fast.
2gens have a few body kits out aren't there 4-5 or something? that is good, u can mix and match it ur up for that...
1gen looks better just dropped... 2 gen looks like it needs a full lip kit to look good when its dropped...
just throw in a turbo ur straight... on the 2.3.
I was thinking about getting a 2gen but not to sure the look does not really appeal to me... but it is a CL and the power is there. how much would I be loosing?? I still gotta pay just under 8k for this car
