i thought this was for CL enthusiasts
I just think it's kind of funny that half the messages I read are about how bad you guys hate you're CL's I don't care what you drive but there will always be something bigger better faster etc. If you guys like M3's and S4's so much go lay down 40-55 thousand dollars and buy one. I keep seeing "M3's are faster", "I got beat by an S4", "there is no support from the aftermarket, Honda, Acura, or anybody else". Every single one of you went to the dealership, took a test drive, decided that you liked the CL (hopefully in type-S trim), and layed down your money. Nobody forced you to buy you're damn car. Once you made the purchase, you got used to it over time and your car isn't as exciting as it was at first. that's no reason to bash the car. It's still the same great car you bought to begin with. You don't meet a girl, date her for a while, get married, then hate her because you see a girl that's a damn supermodel. In that aspect cars are a little like women, ya I'd like to have a new M3 or S4 just like I'de like to have Pamela Anderson and Heidi Klum. Those things are just not really accessable to some of us. So just take it down a notch or two and be happy with it. You all got 260hp and an option list that would make anything in the 30-32K thousand dollar range cry with jealousy. The CL-S is a fantastic car. An automobile enthusiast won't hate their car because there is something better out there. You all bought awesome cars, how about making the best out of you're purchase and stop worrying about what else is out there.
By the way. If it's about what other people think, I guarentee I get more "I love that color" and "nice car"'s in my gold type-S then anybody in a 32 thousand dollar bimmer. Goddamn I love my car.

now on the topic, most of the frustration comes with having such a wonderfull, value filled car ,with so much potential .yet so little aftermarket support to exploite that potential.It's because we're enthusiasts that our frustration is so great .

Let us review:
You're is short for You are.
Your is the possessive of You.
It's is short for It is.
Its is the possessive.
You buy insurance to ensure that you do not lose you money when you run over old hispanic bag ladies running across the road.
What have I missed?
OBTW, I love my car but I like to complain about things...like you're spelling
(just checking to see if your paying attention.

I think most of us love our cars, people
just want to love them MORE. :P
And I think almost everyone here realizes that the CL-S is one of the best bangs for the buck around. Drooling over a different car doesn't make us like our cars less.

hold on a minute. I didn't mean to say that everybody hates there cars or even half of the people here. It's just a few and I took notice. didn't mean to sound like an ass. I do understand about the aftermarket frustration but I also understand why the aftermarket isn't giving us much. even though we bought our cars for the perfomance and want to mod them most of the CL-S buyers are forty somethings who bought them for the already excellent stock performance and would never hear of modifying their cars, so the demand is not great enough to support R&D. didn't mean to piss anybody off.
Also, I'm new here and am not about to read through messages from weeks or even days ago to try and find an answer to some questions I might have. If it really pisses you off so bad that I say something that has already been said sometime ago, then by all means you don't have to answer. I'm just here to talk about my car and hopefully learn more about it.
Annd bye tha wey, eye didnt rite mye lettr too bee posted in sum newspaper. if eye didnt spel some schit write sow tha fuk whhut, u gott mi dam point right

At least most of the people on this board are honest and express specific problems they are having. Most of the auto enthusiast boards, especially Lexus ones, do nothing but bash other cars and praise their own.... they seem to never discuss the problems they're having, and ALL CARS HAVE PROBLEMS.
I have learned so much from this board, about Acuras and other cars. The only thing I don't like about this board is all the hype about so-and-so is doing this and so-and-so is doing that. This stuff seems to always cause some type of bashing and/or solicites trolls to enter the room.

But seriously, I don't think anyone here hates their CL, they just complain and discuss the things they'd like to improve upon or customize. I still think that this car is the best value for the money, but of course I hate the fact that my tranny gave out without even hitting 12K miles, so I bitch and complain about it.
