Judging by the outside looks alone... No way am i trading my 2001 CL-S for this thing! First off, it looks like the car is regressing, it just looks cheap (on the outside)! I guess the best thing i can do is list the dis-likes and likes.

Dislikes:
The wheels, U G L Y and cheap looking. They wont scratch as easy as the 01 and 02's but who cares they suck (wait till you see them up close)!

The clearance of the wheel wells. Looks like some type of off road wanna be.. Hopefully the springs will settle and sit down some.

The lack of parking/running lights. The space is filled with some black plastic stuff. It Acura offers real fog lights.. My opinion might change.

The new gun metal grey color.. Looks like someone couldnt decide on black or sliver, so they just mixed and sprayed.

The regular brown wood interior now comes in the Type S package. ME NO LIKE!

What i Liked:
The darkened headlights, they would look sweet on my silver CL-S.

The oval muffler tips. I need to get me some of these

Im still undecided on the tail lights.. They are OK but nothing special.

I think the 01 & 02 physically look better.. but the 6 speed stick will be the kicker that gets people to buy this ride.


P.S. I get to drive it tomorrow or thurs.. They were taking 3 of them off the truck at McDavid Acura in Austin.

 

yeah, i think we discussed this stuff a couple months ago.
