Do We...???

Want to look better, or...

Do we want to perform better, or...

Do we want both with siding to which side, or lastly...

Do we want to pretend we are something we are not and use the isolation of the Internet to fulfill this?? (An overwhelming majority fit this mold).

But IMO, I want the third choice for my daily driver with 50% on look and feel and 50% on performance for this $$ value.

I think I would rather have all looks than performance. I mean, i used to be all able speed. But I realized it doesnt really matter, cause other people always end up getting there the max a min later while driving normal speed. Unless i go do crazy speed of course.

I bought this car for primarily for looks and couldn't resist the bonus performance. I'm finding out a lot of people bought their CL so they can race (uhh...automatic??) I'll admit I've done mods but I've done that to every car I own. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if I wanted to make a racer, there are a lot cheaper and faster cars that would make a more suitable track whore.

I got CLS for combination of looks/performance/value for the money
My budget is pretty tight....
so, I this car fits perfectly
I am not about racing, but I enjoy fast driving
this car is definitely fast
I will lose to a lot of cars if I race, but I knew that before, so no upset there
and I was crazy about type S for over a year
wnated TL, but then decided to stay young

after my 94 lesabre this car rocks
but on the other hand, if I get more money in the future, there is still room to grow

I want a good looking car that I don't have to worry about being able to pass people at 65mph.

I want the performance. I like driving this car, and I can't see it while I'm driving, so within reason I could care less how it looks.

Performance and looks. Not necessarily M3 performance, but decent performance to make my daily commute a bit more enjoyable.

I may be in the minority, but I kinda like the understated looks of the CL. It's clean, sleek and unoffensive with a slightly muscular stance. No wings, vents, ducts, creases or insect-like compound eye headlights to "date" the styling.

I think the CL-S/TL-S is a great sleeper car... Maybe up there with the likes of the old Sentra SE-R, Galant VR4, SHO and Spirit RT.

Like you guys said, it's just a good mix of performance and looks for a decent price.

You loved it soo much that you got rid of it and bought a TL-S! Speakin of which, do you have updates pictures of your system in the TL?

All show and no go makes for a dull toy. Got to have some get up and go to back up the nice looks.
