Help me decide. I'm considering dumping my '97 Altima and climbing my derrier into a new Acura. The three options I'm looking at are:

2003 CL Type-S
Pros: I can buy one that someone else has already taken the new-car depreciation on (~$25k, like this one). Lotsa torque. Nice exterior styling (IMHO). Sporty.
Cons: Discontinued model. Auto tranny reliability a problem? Interior weakest of the three.

2004 TSX
Pros: Sweeeet interior. Nice exterior styling. Not many of them on the road. Handling. Mileage.
Cons: Underpowered 4 compared to the others. No discount due to supply and demand. May not be able to find one with color and options I want.

2004 TL
Pros: Beautiful (IMHO). Luxurious. Powerful. Nifty features (e.g. DVD-A and Bluetooth).
Cons. Most expensive. Not available for a couple months. Weight and size may cause it to drive and handle less sporty than the others.

So basically I'm asking for an honest opinion of whether you believe the TSX is worth a few grand more than a low-mileage used CL Type-S, and whether you believe the 04 TL will be worth a few grand more than a 04 TSX...

Thanks.

wait till the TL comes out and drive it...you cant base an opinion on an unseen.

If you can afford it go for the 2004 TL. Car looks really nice.
