'99 3.0 cl vs '99 accord V6 coupe- differences?
What differences are there between these 2? I know its the same engine but are there weight differences? What are the differences exterior, interior, suspension and performance wise? When new the cl was more expensive but now their value is about the same. Is there any reason why the cl has depreciated more rapidly?

The '99 V6 Accord is heavier than the '99 3.0CL.
The '99 3.0CL suspension is based on the '94-'97 Accord.
The '99 Accord suspension is (obviously) based on the '98-'02 Accord.
The '99 3.0CL has 4-lug wheels; where the '99 V6 Accord has a 5-lug pattern.
Performance is about the same, but keep in mind that the CL is lower in weight.
I'm not sure about interior differences, but I do know that the '99 CL came stock as "Premium" which has leather seats, heated seats, heated mirrors, "upgraded"--(that's a laugh) Bose system etc. I'm n ot real sure what was stock on the '99 V6. I guess it depends on whether you got the LX or EX.

Ok....i went to that link you had and changed the 99 3.0 to a 97 2.2...So why does it say that a 97 2.2 CL is turbocharged?? Am I missing something?? lol

Why is the 99 CL suspension based on an older (97) Accord? And why 4 lugs vs. 5. 4 lug wheels looks whimpy IMO.
I mean...when the designers are creating the CL's....they were like, "....hey, lets put in the 97 Accord suspension in these 97-99 CL's. And we'll develope new suspension specifically for the 98-00 Accords." ??? Why didn't they develope a new suspension for the new CL (back then in 97) and then adopt it for the Accord?

The 1998/1999 CLs do have the brake rotor design from the 1998-2002 Accords. However, for what ever reason, they did not switch to the 5-lug hub design!
