Robb,

Can you shoot me a quick email with some details on your swap and how you managed to swing it (and perhaps where).... Is it a lease or finance deal?

I'm at ismc@hotmail.com ..

thx

If we were smart we would move over to a car that has no tranny problems

Look...I'm thinking this way...

A) The chance to get a BRAND NEW 2002 car with all imporovment and 0 miles (I'm almost at 45KM)
B) The TL-S front end looks better and you can get the skirt kit
C) Always liked the Pearl White or Agean Blue
D) Can always use a larger backseat and 2 extra doors

Its the same tranny, engine, drivetrain.

It will have same problems... but the TLS is so new you see far fewer then you do on the CLS which is a yr older.

Supposedly, it's the same POS. But who knows if they've tweaked it a bit.
