Mannn....you guys should cherish the CL that you have. Now that my CL is gone, and i hate the replacement car that i got, i would KILL to have a CL again ! The replacement is a 98 Altima SE 5sp, and it has leather and all that bullshit, but it will never even come close to the CL . I cant wait to get rid of that thing. But anyway, my question is this. Should i look for another 2.3CL which i can buy as soon as i sell the altima and mod it like i was doing the previous CL i had? i loved the mix of great gas mileage and performance and the styling was oh so fresh (people kept asking me if it just came out)....or wait till november of this year and start shopping around for an 03 Type S 6speed? I like the styling of the 99 better, but i might be patient enough to wait for 260hp/6speed and navi, although with some money and effort the 99 CL can be made fast too. what do you guys think?

 

wait till nov. and shop the 6 spd bro... I love the first gen too. but if I had to wait a few months before I knew I could get a 6spd? Ohh man. I would just die..

 

When I get back from Iraq I may be looking for a 6

 

They are just soooo damn hard to find.

 

what the heck

 

check this out i found a 6spd,white 3.2. i think its a hell of a good price with those miles.

Dope car

 

Yeah man..wait for the 6spd, I don't miss my CL at all and with the 6spd you don't have to worry about having your tranny crap out on you only clutches, also by November they may be down to 16k I've seen a couple at 18.5 with low mileage now..check this place out... www.carvisions.com


Blackack..what da hell man..When did this Iraq thing come up..

 

NEWER! I'd never get the same car twice unless it was an upgraded trim level or just an amazing car.

 

i think the first gens are so much sexier.. i wish they would have kept this body for the second gens

 

I wish they would've kept it looking similar, more agressive. The new one is so frumpy looking. Keeping a different gen. looking exactly the same wouldn't make much sense.

 

2nd gen > 1st gen

 

obviously they are gonna change it up.
the back isnt too bad, though i much prefer the first gen ass.
i understand they probably want to get away from that accord look for the front, but it just doesnt look very good IMO.. they could have done better.
i dont think cars get much more than our 1st gens
i know many disagree, but hey, that's just me.

 

 

that's what im talking about



any closer pics of that grill on the white?

 

Greets to All,

Just wanted to introduce myself to all fellow members.

I'm the proud (1-week) owner of a 1st Gen 2.3CL and lovin' it

Waited and held out for almost 2-months before I finally found a mint '99 model.

The first time I seriously considered a CL was only after looking for 5-speeds which were a bit larger than the sporty Tiburons, but offered much nicer amenities and of course more style than flash.

I spent several weeks lurking these forums to reinforce my choice to get a CL. With so many praising their rides, it made me more determined than ever to get one.

Once I found my ride and sealed the deal, I could now finally join as a real CL owner

I would definitely acknowledge that through (unbiased opinion ) the 1st Gen is the sexier of the CL gens.

Great forums, great members.

I feel privileged to own one now

 

I've mentioned it on here a few times, I was supposed to be going in march, but now it might not be till april or may, summer in the 140 deg desert, yay

 

memories of the better days....

 

OH SNAP there's like 5 fawkin 6 speed CL-S's around me errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

>*
(Black one is a 6 Speed too)

 

another CLer from the GTA....im lovin it

...i do love the CL but u just can't pass up on a 6speed 3.2

 

i like both gens, but i like the front and ass of the first gen better. but i do think if the 2nd gen is done up right it is a very nice sleek sexy looking car, but to me the 2nd gen needs the stock wing IMHO. when i had my first gen i always got people asking about it and trying to run me, ricer civics, and then i blew thier doors off. i loved my first gen, but i'm wanting a 2nd gen 6 speed soon. Me and my dads project---hopefully find a 6speed thats pretty decent and not to many miles on it. then we are looking to get it supercharged w/intercooler, lowered, rims ect. something clean, classy, and a sleeper.

 

If they should have kept this body for the second gens, then they should have made the first gens look like the CL concept in my avatar.

traders!!!!!! yea, wait on the 6 speed i got my cl and i love it but now 2 of my boys got cl-s's and i'm kind of hatin,1 of them is a 6 speed . rare? i know of at least 3 available at the local dealership

 

good luck, gotta love the sandbox, i'll be doing my 3rd tour this summer

 

wait for the 6spd. if i had the money to get one i would def jump on it.
6spd > 5spd CLs anyday.

 

At least the money will be good, I'll be comin back with like 3/4 a years salary in 4 months

 

go newer!

 

if i go newer, whats the probability of me being able to get 1 with navi for 16K or less? what will prices for the 03 CLS6 be like at the end of this year? Another thing that makes the 1st gen so attractive is gasprices and the fact that i was so familiar with the car i could do almost all the mods by myself...comments?

 

Probablity = not good

Unless it has a bizillion miles on it. Every 03 CLS6 around me that I've looked at is from 19-25 grand

 

bazillion miles on a honda motor means it runs perfect, honda's go for ever if you maintain them. Aand thats just 1 more reason to build the CL-S motor up haha

 

I'm talking about the price range and yes that is why u build up the cl-s motor

 

6 SPEED MANUAL for sure!

 

good point...ive never owned a 6 cyl car before, all the cars in my fam have been 4 cylinder accords before i was the 1st 1 to deviate and get the CL (still an accord 4 with 1 more liter displacement)....CL-S6 is sounding better...but the thing is id have to stay with this car that i have now till then, and i really dislike this car =/

 

Altimas = :ghey:

 

I could wait easily if I knew the Type-S 6 speed was at the end of the tunnel.

 

maybe i could sell this car for like 5k and pic up a 1st gen to live with till i get the 2nd gen??

 

patience little grasshopper patience..wait for the 6 spd..I think by the summer they should be around 16K non navi..

 

That would be worth the wait

 

Or you can just do a VQ swap like this one..I just read the blog at the bottom of the link and the creepy Cubano Alex posted on this link..
