- I would think you could get a non-Type S CLS 6-speed for very close to, if not less than, the price of a 6-speed Accord.
No such thing as a non-Type S CLS 6-speed. The 6-speed is CL-S only.

They are essentially the same... there isn't too much new technology in the engine department with the AV6 as its NOT an i-VTEC motor, unlike the 4-cylinder versions. Couple nice things about the Accord are dual-climate control. However, a AV6 with Nav and 17" wheels and all the trimmings is more tha $25K. The CL-S 6spd with equal trimmings is $30K, so the difference isn't much. Remember that you CAN'T put headers on the AV6!! Also, it doesn't have seat memory, OnStar etc. There are some luxury touches on the CL-S that that Accord doesn't have... albeit minoR

Someone has to be on crack to pay 40k for an accord!! That is BMW territory. Are you telling me you can compare the two cars? Exclusivity?

Rich people don't get rich by making stupid decisions like that.
I agree 100%
It is comparing apples to oranges. But, no matter what you pay for a Honda it is still a Honda. If you tell some shmoe on the street that you drive an Acura or you drive and Accord...which do you think he is automatically think is nicer? If you compare a CL to a BMW people (excluding us) are going to think the Bimmer is way nicer. I think only a fool would pay 40K for an Accord. An Accord will always be an Accord. I am trying to knock it, it is a great car for what it is and that it is it.

Guess what , Your CL is just a Honda!
I cant believe how some of you guys flame Accords. You shouldnt even be comparing the two! (different class of car)What are you guys so scared of??
Dont worry your CL Type S is definatly a better car and if I had it to do all over again I would definatly start with the CL S because after all is said and done the CL S is faster and much nicer looking.
You guys need to stop bashing and welcome your distant cousins into your family instead of driving us all away !!!

i guess a lexus ls 430 is just a glorified camry?
i do agree that they are two different classes of cars...the cls is in the GOOD class...
j/k j/k jeez you ppl are sensative
the comparisons come naturally, especially to ppl in the upper-middle class who regret they couldnt afford bimmers and have felt remoseful ever since
I for one am glad i didnt get a bimmer :P my H O N D A kicks ass

The ls430 might have a chassis that is modified and based on the camry, but i think its its own platform. again i could be wrong and i dont feel like researching it right now:P

As for the power both 6spds are in same ballpark.

Ummm...everything that is currently on the 98-02 Accord has a version or is able to be used by the CL/TL line. The 03 Accord on the other hand doesn't have that aftermarket support yet.
