Another Sad Day - Kind of ...
Well, I been a member here a long time and have also owned two CL Type S vehicles; a 2001 and a 2003 six speed. As you can tell, I really prefer sport coupes!
But today I ordered a 2007 BMW 335i coupe, six speed manual transmission, sport package, sparkling graphite metallic exterior with black leather interior - should be sweet! It should be here in 6-8 weeks.
I will try and post a picture when I get it and I won't be a stranger. Don't be fooled by my low number of posts; I probably visit the Acura CL site just about every day and have taken a lot of pride in what many of you have done with your CL's.
Like many people here have said, I will never forget the first time I drove my CLS - it is a great car!! But am ready for something different.
Take care - It has been a great ride!

Congrats - your profile is almost identical to mine:
Long time member, rare poster
Originally owned an '01, switched to an '03 6MT
Strongly considering the 335i coupe!
Will the 335i have the same impact as the G35 a couple of years back, where everyone started jumping ship?

No, its not really in the same price range as the people who bought the CL-S new. The G35 is in that 30-35,000 price range, while the 335 is in the 40-45,000 price range. Thats a pretty big jump in payment.

Our HR Manager just got one. Weird color too, kind of a blue/purple/grey. Odd. Anyway, he loves it, so I'm sure you will, too. Enjoy!

Awesome ride bro! Have fun with it. I've seen two on the streets so far and I have to say that both times made me want to make a visit to the BMW dealership.
Congrats! Can't wait to see the pixs.

Thanks everyone for the positive responses! I have never considered a BMW in the past - My last four cars have been Honda/Acura products. Hands down the CLS beat the BMW 3 series from a price/performance standpoint.
But, this 335i twin turbo looks like a real beast. I have read that the boost is set very conservatively, so the potential of this engine is incredible.
By the way, I would have loved to do the ED, but I just don't have the time. There are some incredible lease deals out there on this car, so I think I did okay.

335 is a great car. My friend just bought one and stock it put down around 300RWHP when it's rated at 300 crank. If you get a turbo back exhaust, some supporting parts, and turbo upgrades, you'll easily see 400rwhp. By the way, the interior is amazing as well
