same class? no way.

so i was walking with my friend today, and I asked him, would you drive a non-gsr/type-r teggy or a first gen cl, he's like, teggy. im like why? he's like cuz its sportier, more gas efficient, and you can "soup" it up, and its the SAME CLASS AS THE CL. im like wtf. ok, the teggy might be sportier, more gas efficient, and EVERYONE "soups" it up, but NO WAY its the same class.

correct me if im wrong guys, but i thought the CL was higher class than a teggy?

and i asked him, a cl has much more rear passenger room, auto climate, AND a better ride...he's like, i think the integra and cl has the same ride comfort...

so yeah, just wanted to rant this...i guess our cls aren't loved as much as those "souped" up teggies.

the CL is the luxury version of a 2dr accord . btw you really can't compare the ITR to a CL. there is no comparison.

under that argument the tsx and the rsx would be in the same "class" but theyre not. price difference is notable but even more would be the luxury level. i dont know but did tegs come with full leather interior, heated seats, heated mirrors, and fully adjustable electric seats? compare the base model CL with the base model teg, as far as i know there was never a CL where you had to put up the window with a crank...

The CL replaced the Acura Legend Coupe.

by basic math,

if CL = Legend Coupe

and

Legend Coupe > Integra

then

CL > Integra.

duh.

It's compact versus luxury midsize coupe. This is like the other thread where the civic owner said his civic was in a better league cuz he could get more fart cans for it than a CL, acura is luxury, but there's nothing luxury about the integra. I work on the all the time, there's usually no leather, no woodgrain, nothin. Not to mention the ride's totally different which you already pointed out. Not to mention the pricetag on the CL was a lot higher

QFT, I'm surprised at how many looks and complements I get on it. I havent even done anything except slam it and keep it clean. I mean I visited a friend at UC Irvine, and I ended up driving him and his roommates all over the place since I was the only one with a car and everyone was saying how they loved the car. The cute asian girls down the hall liked it to

definitely not the same class. CL>integra. My barber has a red GSR, half the car with jdm parts, and he even says he thinks my car looks better. Racing is a different story, thats what tegs were meant to do. CL's look and bag all the bitches while the tegs go race
