I've heard they were canceling the CL a couple times before...it might happen but for some reason, I doubt it. Acura isn't going to cancel the CL and leave a hole in their lineup right when midsized coupes are picking up steam. If anything, they'll probably just rename it something stupid like the CSX or whatnot.
What would be nice is if they abandon the nonsensical letters and go back to something like the Vigor or Legend. Man! The return of the Legend coupe would probably make me pass out (and when I came to, I would be on my way to the dealership to get on a waiting list)

Isn't kind of strange that there is really no information out from Acura on the CL. If Acura let on now that the CL is discontinued, it could cause a rash of trade in's. If that announcement is ever made, you could kiss off some value. Usually every time there's a new body change, the old body is worth less. It will be interesting to see what happens.

i think what will happen is the cl will probably get discontinued, i've heard of that online and from a few people at dealerships as well. but if anything they will have to come back with a new coupe in the 25-40K price range to compete with the g35 and other cars that are in that category.
maybe in the redesign of the tl we'll see a new tl coupe? just like they have the g35 coupe and sedan.

But you are right about the trade-ins. Visit any Subaru board to see how many WRX's are for sale now that the STi is coming to America. Even more are for sale b/c they redesigned the whole Impreza line again....

True...resale would definitely suffer (except maybe the 6sp). But it's worth it if Acura gives us something to compete with the G35 coupe. And with Acura's record for quality over Infiniti...it would more than rock.

the better dealerships are told information sometimes.
but for the most part, acura tries not to leak out too much info, because if everyone knew that next year there is a new and improved acura that will be better than the current one for the same price, who's gonna buy the current one then?

Name change might make sense. Try to get it thought of as between RSX and NSX? Maybe CLX or CSX.. They will never give a heads up about a line being stopped, that would kill New car sales. YMMV

We had heard about it in late 1999, but no one knew nothing about it until Acura released sketches weeks before it debuted the car in January at the auto shows. This is just how they operate.

Honda should made the eourpean hondas for the americans because, actually the eourpeans version look better the the 2003 american version.
