Yeah - when acura_service said that is about the time I grew more certain that it will come with a body kit standard ... probably with a slightly tweaked front end .... so add that to 6MT and probably 280 or 295 HP ... there ya go

Brought in to compete with new Infiniti 280hp 6-speed manual coupe?

Looks like the Acura CL is being 'updated' to compete with a possible AWD Infiniti G35 6-speed manual coupe: http://www.zcar.com/forums/read.php?f=5&i=22853&t=22853

Maybe a bump in displacement. The GS went from a 4.0 to 4.3 while leaving HP the same. The CL may be getting an 3.5L iVTEC.

I think what he's getting at is... the ACURA serviceman...told him "SOMETHING WICKED COMES THIS WAY" for the 6 speed CL..
just like the Lexus commercials on the Lexus GS400-430

prob some big changes...who knows...
I am thinking it's the 6 speed....wider tires... with SEMA bodykit..
295 hp....and what else? minor changes?

This is where I am at now too --

1) 280 or 295 HP (based on who you listen to - but a bump) ... not sure on torque (please bump Acura )
2) tweaking of front end
3) addition of standard body kit (SEMA like) for 6MT (hope it fits all models - be smart Acura)
4) bigger tires (hopeful - tighter suspension)
5) Of course - 6MT is a given

The rest of the stuff are just hopes ... but I think the above 4 are reasonable and within Acura's capabilities to help agressively market the CL to the 20-35 age group that it did not anticipate when originally targetting this car.

All I know is my CLS is about to get sold ... gonna save for 2-3 months ... then I get in one - WHATEVER it is ... I miss having a manual trans !
