How the hell can they compare cars that are 45k and up with the CL-S now thats shitty. The 330ci with everything is near 44k, and th clk430 with everything is like 53k, how can that compare to the Cl-S thats 33k with the navi!!

That's what I'm saying...if anything, we should be proud of ourselves that they compared the CL to those ~$50k cars

This is the most rediculous thing i have eva read...Volvo, which is the ugliest thing of the money in the first place doesn't even come in the category, CLK430 is a V-8 that get's easily pissed on by GS400 or SC400 lexus. and 330i is an overpriced cl that won't go any faster unless it's a manual

I wonder what kind of cars would the 330ci and CLK430 be if they had to charge $30K for them (and still make money).

I see this is as an honor for our car to be compared to these cars (even the fricking 330Ci was brought here with a manual, the only thing that's left is for them to bring the M and AMG cars).

Great job Acura!

Now it's Nissan's turn with the new Infinitis coming out soon.
