When I first saw the CL when I bought it. I was like... Cool, maybe being an Acura, it will have a little bit bigger engine than the accord. I popped the hood and almost verbatim "Oh, its an F23"... The dealer was like "what" I said "Nothing, just thought the engine would be bigger....."
Besides, Your just jealous that we have 5 more hp than you and a nicer console....
