CL-S vs. CL-P

To me, it seems reading thru these boards, that 99% of people on here have a CL-S.

Am I the only one who has a CL-P, or do the CL-P people just not post much?

Lets take a count with the poll. I'm curious.

Since most people on this board are automobile enthusiasts, it would make sense that they would go with the sportier model. I chose the CL-P because the direction I was going with the CL didn't include performance..but I'm definately the minority here.

I got a P for two reasons:

1. Cost, about 1500-2000 less than the S around here.
2. Insurance, my ins comany wanted about $250+ more per year for the CL-S. I already pay $3,000/yr. Thats bad enough.


The car already has the OEM spoiler, so I kinda look like the S, all I need is the wheels and 40HP lol

Interesting...at least with people that have taken the poll so far, you were almost right about the 90% thing. I would have guessed more like 70/30.

I bought my -P in 2000 and started modding it, then the -S came out but I really like my car anyway so I kept it! Still looks and runs great @ 174,500 miles.

I had a CL-S I figured it was pointless to get a CL unless it was an S. I mean it doesn't have good handling so I alteast wanted a good engine. Plus if I didn't care for performance I would of got a TL and have a more accessable back seat. But the CL-P is good for daily driving the suspension is softer, big plus with all these pot holes.

Cause adding the intake, headers and suspension aftermarket is alot cheaper than $2000+interest (if financing like I am)
Also saves the Insurance hit.

It is my daily driver, and I don't mind the softer suspension (for now) the potholes around here suck so its good.

I will be upgrading as time goes on though I am sure.

Honestly, the CL-P is plenty fast for me and still turns heads
