I think the CL looks hot..so why the Hell don't the Car Reviewers?
I remember the 1st time seeing the CL-S over a year ago and thinking...this is one sweet looking car. It was a Black CL-S with Monsoon wheels. I thought Acura did a great job making a sleek, classic, elegant and understated design statement. Its modern and looks timeless. So why does every review of the CL I read say "its looks are disappointing....its boring...blah blah blah." All I keep hearing is about how good the Bimmer 3 series looks. Yeah the Bimmer looks good..but I'm sure some of you folks would disagree with the Critics and agree with me how great our Cars look!

I wonder the same thing....especially when you have another model that is almost the same exact car with four doors, but that one gets pretty good reviews.
On the flip side, Motor Trend has seemed pretty positive about it in their reviews and also, they took one for a long-term test.

the tl has always been favored by acura if u ask me. it was always available with an optional body kit. not the cl. on top of that the new styling is just like every other car on the road. acura totally got rid of their very distinct and dramatic styling of the first gen cl. the interior is sweet though along with the 260hp.

Vince, the opinions of reviewers don't matter to me. I'm just curious as to how they base their subjective opinion. Its perplexing how the majority of reviewer say that the CL is bland. Whats their basis? I know I'm not a reviewer and you folks aren't either, but we seem to think the car is beautiful. Now why aren't there any reviewers that share that same opinion? Could it be the price factor, as some posters have suggested. Or maybe it doesn't have the BMW Mystique...it just seems that whenever a CL gets reviewed, it gets lumped into the category of looking like a spruced up Accord Coupe...and that it certainly is not. Or maybe is goes down to core of it..once a Honda always a Honda....

Fuck what the reviewers have to say... They reviewed it once, you get to review it every freaking day of your life (so long as the car is still yours)
!!!! If the reviewers say the styling is bland, then so be it; Maybe I like bland!

but i think audis look like beefed up volkswagens.
and i think ALL volkswagens are bland and ugly. they look like they're taking over for volvo or something with that boxy/bubblely style.
but the reviewers seem to love it. did you notice that carpoint has a top 10 european car thing, and did you notice that all of them are german? why couldn't they just say "top 10 german" cars? especially if they consider vw's against some volvos that i think are a lot nicer.

VW and audi's look nice, especially the audi's but damn, they got tech preoblems like crazy! Just like ford. They look nice but no thanks. I've heard to many horror stories about them.
