Like to get the most for their buck.....probably has to do more with being a lot of first/ second gerneration immigrants so people tend to spend their money wisely. You could probably add Lexus to that list. You get great car to dollar ratio! Reliability, cost of fixing...etc.

This is how Indian people are, too. Correct me if i am wron.

A car is a car... Does it really matter who drives them? I bought it to make ME happy. Not trying to fit into some stereotype

BTW, I'm Sicilian. You don't see me driving around in a Caddy or Lincoln do you?

I'm more concerned with the age of the drivers then the race. My old(pun intended) car a 300M, I saw more old(50+) people driving it then any other age group. Made me feel funny(like it was an older guys car) As far as race goes, I don't care. The CL-S is only my 2nd new car, & only my 4th ever.

To tell you the truth, we are ALL BLACK PEOPLE! We just act like were not on the forum so we can keep the site up and running for free, so don't tell anybody . Go to a meet sometime and you will see what I mean.

If I were any whiter, I'd be clear and I want a CL-S.

I hope they get the tranny issue taken care of by next summer when I'm finally ready to buy.

Nothing compares to the CL-S/TL-S at their prices ...

New G35, New 350Z, whatever ... to get them contented like I want is $34k + (w/o navi).

CL-S/TL-S is way cheaper.

I'm with Hella... The car is cramped inside but being a 6'4" caucasion, I can just hang my shlong over the wheel and steer whenever I want, so, it's a good thing

I know we've been giving you a hard time so I did some research to find a legitimate answer to your question.

Would you believe that after an exhaustive search of the archives it turns out that NOBODY KNOWS!!!!!!

I can't believe this board has made it this far without doing a racial breakdown of the members. Oh the horror.

One other explanation is that it could be that no one has yet been stupid enough to ask what ethnicity people are.

God dammit! You made me spit on my screen! LOL Now I have streaks all over

But as for asians and honda....I think it's more of a reliability/value issue. I dont care if I was black or white...but I would of still bought the TLS just cuz it was my first new car (new = less than 50k miles) and I plan to get EVERY PENNY out of it! LOL

Now if I was rich...heh...screw acura.

When I went to my first ACL meet last summer I expected a bunch of middle-aged, balding, fat white guys. Instead most owners were asians under 24.

Totally not what I expected.

Then again, all the CLs I see just driving on the road are older white people. I guess they just don't care enough about their cars to go to meets and such.

BTW, I am a blue balding Scottish Persian Asian with a little Madagascarian in me. I'm also 3'2" and weigh in at 320 lbs, nearly a perfect square...

Actually, my ethnicity couldn't be more boring in this country...
