CL/CLS everywhere I turn

I never really noticed, but yesterday driving home from work, saw at least 20 CL/CLS on the way home. So I decided to drive around my neighborhood just to see how many there are. Within a 3 block radius from my house, theres 5CL(2 at my house ), 3CLS, 2TL and 1 TLS. And the blocks are small, only about 9 houses each block. At my college, there is 5 or 6 new RSX, 1CL, 2CLS, and 4 TLS.

ha! ha! Here (30 minute drive S of Seattle), I do not see any CL-S types at all. See a few TLs, but the CL-S is very rare here. That is why I really like the car.

Hondas, hondas everywhere tho'

They produced 40% Type-S for the U.S.

It's very rare to see a CL-S here, even though there is a local dealership. CL-P is rare. TL-S is seen occasionally. TL is extremely common, probably the most common car in it's price range.

Yeah...I agree with EggPlant....'round the Seattle area there aren't many CLS', but alot of '01 TL's. See 'em everywhere. Not many CL's though. But one day I saw three within about a half-n-hour, and I was trippin. I started getting all pissed and shit. UGHUGHUGH that drove me crazy. But for the most part nothin'. That's why i love my car.

I have seen way more CL-Ss(es?) than CL-Ps. Funny thing is, now that the TL-Ss are out, sales of the CL-S are way down (according to my dealer, maybe it's bull). Seems everybody wants the xtra horses. I certainly know that is why I moved outta my '98 Avenger ES (with only 26000 on the clock). That and the fact that my roommate's 1999 TL-P was as solid as the day it was new. Great cars with a lot of content for less than Lexus, Infiniti, etc.

Here in Nashville I rarely see any CL-S s and all probably no CL-Ps. I actually see more 330s than CL-S s which is good but once in a while I would like to see how my car looks going on the highway..

Nearest Acura dealer is 3.5hrs. Tons of built Hondas but maybe 1 or possible 2 other CL-S in town. Have seen a pimp-gold driving several times and one other time saw a black one but think he was just driving through town. People have come up to me to say how special they thought my car was!

I'm in North Scottsdale over here so now all the old people or snowbirds as the locals call them are coming down and they all have TLPs.

I would say I see 20-30 TL's a day hahahah, it is a real common car around here.

I rarely see CLS except for people I know
There is only one I don't know I keep seeing,

See a lot of silver CLP's and that Champagne Gold color, But that's it Only seen one like mine,

Most popular car down here
At ASU--> Mustang for sure
North Scottsdale--> 02 Escalade, S430-S500, IS300, Maxima,

I'm south of Nashville and occasionally see a black, silver or red CL-S. Judging from the amount of gawkers at my car, I'd say there aren't that many--GOOD! Tons of TL's around and the S type doesn't stand apart enough from the regular TL, IMHO.

here's what i've seen here on Long Island...lots of Integra's...lots more TL's, but about 95% of the TL's are '01 and older...i see an occasional CL/CL-S on the Long Island Expressway...in fact, i managed to find a fellow red, no spoiler CL-S in the 40's exits bout a month back, and we followed each other for a few miles...other than that, there are not many CL/CL-S's around here...from what i've seen in my town, there are 2 silver (1 Type S, 1 Premium) and 1 white CL-P...tons of older TL's and a blue TL-S...and that's it...there are more Lexus SC430's in my town than there are CL's...it's freaky.
