Add the 300M to cars with Xenon's

The 300M Special will have Xenon's. Another 2002 domestic to the list along with the Altima and Maxima that gets HID's next year.

I rather see it that way than pictures of eye-less CLs/TLs.

Great. I wonder what other parts of the car are going to be "re worked" to offset the cost

Lasers? What's this? Cars are going to have lasers with the headlights?

Actually, he may have been joking... but yes... cars ARE getting lasers in the headlights.

The Jeep GC will have lasers in its headlights in the next few years as part of an "active night vision" system.

Looks like somebody's V1 will need a firmware update!

now here's the question if all these "average cars"(examples Accords, and Camry and so on) are getting HIDs then i think Acura should give us better headlights on the 03 or 04 CL's. I think that's only fair cause a V-6 Accord LOADED(leather,spoiler basically all the goodies) is only like 25-27 grand and we're paying 30 grand and really we're just getting a little bigger motor and the SS tranny. Don't get me wrong I'm still gonna go with the CL as my next car but i think Acura should make it right since this is a higher class car than the Accord.

I don't understand everyone's fascination with HID's. Sure they're cool and illuminate the road better but if the TL/CL didn't have them would you have not bought the car? I'd gladly trade the HID's for any of the following:

- Retained power for the windows and the ability to close the windows and sunroof with the remote when you're outside the car.

- A more thorough security system.

- A cell phone integrated with the Navi that let's you talk hands free and place and receive calls through the display.

- Real wood and better quality leather.

- An extra coat of paint and clearcoat and more choices of interior/exterior combinations.

- A better sound system – even as an option.

To me, these improvements are more important to a "luxury car" than brighter headlights. Just my two cents.

After having them, driving another car without them is like driving with the lights turned off. It's now on my checklist of items for my next car.

Who cares - it's not like Xenons will suddenly make it a quality car.
