Long time lurker on this board but I've been recently tempted by the new WRX wagon. Ugly as heck and definitely not a competitive product for the cls, but the specs are so damn appealing. I'm not a huge enthusiast (ie, you won't find me at a track or drag racing light to light) so let me hear your arguments for not getting this beast and instead getting a smooth cl-s.... The impreza guys didn't do anything but dismiss the very thought of the comparison.

 

Bottom line, do you want to drive a Subaru, or an Acura? You can compare the specs HP and torque wise, but try comparing all of the other features like Mem. Seats, auto dimming mirror (side mirror tilts down to show you the curb when in reverse), power moonroof, 6 disc in dash BOSE CD player, Xenon headlights, etc. Just look at the interiors. The Subaru isn't even close to the CL-S. It's nice, but no comparison. I think once you add everything up, you'll decide to spend the little extra cash and get the CL-S.....

will ur next car be a daily driver or a weekend toy? if its ur daily driver, go for the cl-s. it'll pamper u and has enuff sporty traits to satisfy you every now and then. if its a weekend toy, then definitely get the WRX. aside from its looks, the fun factor blows the cl-s away...

 

but don't you guys miss rowing your own gears and getting some power to the rear wheels? just trying to bring out some good reasoning to 'assist' me in making a decision... either way the s is a very cool car..

 

cee el es - its a daily driver (25 miles one way---ouch!), but it needs to be competent all year round as I live amongst the hills and we do get snow!
