I am loving my car...cruising down the highway listening to Garbage's "As Heaven is Wide" while being hugged by my leather heated seats is a very cool feeling...but...I live in NJ and I rarely see anyone with the new CL-S body style (2001 up)---I see old CL's but no new ones....Is there a bad rap on these cars? Do they not sell for some reason? All research I did was positive before I purchased..---most car websites gave the CL glistening reviews...just wondering...but I personally am thrilled with my car...ss doesnt bother me a bit..

 

That should make you love your car even more bro'!!! You're unique!!! I love the fact that I don't EVER see any CLS....

 

CL's have never beent the car of the year to get. you know like, the new body mustangs, grand cherokees, TTs, is300. I see more corvettes than CLs.

 

I see TONS of Ford Taurus’s, Dodge Neon’s & Honda Accords every day.
Does that make them a “better” car ???

......NUFF SAID.

Lots of TL’s around my area, but very few CL’s.
I like it that way.

I'm in NJ and I see a new CL every once in a while. It is nice being different from the crowd. I'm up to 12,000 miles and not a single problem so far.

 

where in NJ are you from? Well I see 2 CLs everyday in my driveway Other than that, theres a few CL/TL around also.

 

I agree with mffdvr, I like the fact that our cars are not around like other cars, it does give it that unique look around town.

 

I once had a 96 Nissan 240SX SE, and let me tell you, hardly anyone had that car, I was the only one in school to have it and if you ever saw one, it was the base model not the Sport Edition, even though the car was underpowered, and even though thats why people didnt buy it, I loved my car, and most all magazines rated the 240SX at the time as the best handling car in it's class, not to mention the RWD on that car, that car could have been modded to hell...anyways I loved that 5-speed and missed it a bunch, was a blast to drive...so being unique is not always bad...

 

I see mad 2nd generation CL's on the road everyday, 287 parkway route 9 all over...1st gens are cheap now so im starting to see them too

 

I live in a blue-collar part of town. Fairly isolated, on a peninsula. When friends come over for the first time we play a game driving through town ... "Find the Import" ...


Why? Because there are hardly any around. Almost all domestic vehicles. I really standout with an import, HIDs, and 01 CL.

 

Um, what country is Marysville, Ohio?

Lest we forget that your CL is 75% manufactured is the US.

 

I live in southern cali, and I've seen a total of 4 CLS in my neighborhood in the last month or so. One reason why I bought the car was because of its uniqueness. I work in Irvine and every other car is a BMW 3x. Though yesterday while I was leaving lunch, I saw a Blue CLS that looked exactly like mine except mine has a scratched bumper and it had spoiler. It looked nice. Now I have to go get one.

 

Hmmmm...so does that mean your Ford is Mexican..

 

True, true. But to the locals, American cars only come from 'American' companies. They don't get the global picture.

 

i know...let's have a meet on December 26th in Freehold

all u Jersey folk come on down...it'll b fun...grab some lunch at Chili's across from the raceway mall around 1 or so and take some cool pics of our rides.

i got a thread out there giving all the details, including directions...very easy to get to.

 

I seem to buy cars that you don't see alot, i've had a Peugeot 505, Audi 5000S, 2 Merkur xr4tis and 2 SHOs. I buy what i like, not what's trendy.

 

I live in queens and I see alot of cls around. One time driving to work, i saw 2 cls and 1 tls parked within 2 blocks. Personal I don't mind seeing so many cls around because I can admire my car even more.

 

hehe exactly. I dunno y, but when i see a CL on the road, i tend to get next to it and drive right along side of it.

 

i love garbage (the group, not trash). why hasn't there latest album sold anything?

 

I am from the Princeton area---and the new Garbage CD sucks...they have gone totally pop and its awful
I see a lot of Volkswagons and Saabs here in "yuppytown"

 

2 things to me.
1. EVERYONE and their momma wants some sort of SUV.
2. Stlying, for a 2 door, it is not breathtaking.
