6 speed CL-S in my future?
Yeah, that's right..... I'm considering buying a new 6 speeder.
What are they going for these days? Are there good deals to be had?
My M3 will be leaving me shortly and I honestly don't want another one.........for now at least. Maybe later when the M3 GT is avaiable.
One question for the 6 speed owners:
When driving at about 60 mph in 6th gear, how is the acceleration? In other words, does the car have enough balls to pass without the need to downshift to 5th gear?
Also, what is the future of the CL? Any known changes for next year? Or could they just kill the CL after this year? What's the latest info?

You can PASS at 60MPH in sixth just fine.
Granted, you won’t get WHIPLASH doing it , but you can safely pass.
As for the future of the CL, any info posted here by others would just be a guess.

I feel like I'm in a similar position. I want to trade in a 2001 Audi TT 225Q for a CL-S 6speed w/ 15,000 miles. I don't know why, but I feel like I want to get back to Japanese reliability from the German experience.
Do you think I could do a 1:1 trade with my car?

an adult perspective
I've never felt the need to downshift while cruising on the Interstate between 65-75 if I want to pass slower traffic. This is one of the things that impressed me with the car when I first drove one last spring. But if you want the addit power, it's there with a single forward motion applied to the stick.
