In the same price range I've always liked the Maxima's, but wouldn't have bought a new one b/c of the styling. The only other car that is even close that I lust after is the GS400/430--but, I can't afford one of those so thank good ness the CL came along. I also considered the Accord coupe, but not many good things are said about that car so I'm glad I didn't(and they're only a few grand less than a CLS).

Black/black CL Type S Comptech springs, headers. Soon to have Konis and Comptech sway bars. PIAA 19169, Solaris high beams. Potenza RE730's 225/45/ZR17
...And I wonder where my money goes!

I read on the Mustang newsgroup the LS and Mustang will share a frame... whether that means they will share a platform I'm not sure. The Crown Vic, Grand Marquis, and Continental(??) all share the same frame...

I was always considering the IS300 even before the CL-S came out, but once I saw the CL-S with all of its glorious goodies, I couldnt even come close to justifying a IS300 purchase... And a four door car at that size wasnt me... If a coupe version of the IS300 existed and if it had similar options as the CL (like Navi), then I might have given the IS300 more of a consideration.... But if no CL...maybe a used 540 ('97 or '98)

Since I had just returned a BMW 540 to the dealer for a refund, and if the CL hadn't been around, I would probably be driving a Lexus GS400.

Please don't laugh, but if I were to buy a car NOW, and the CL-S doesn't exist, I would go for an auto RAV4 or Accord LX-V6 and drive it until something I really like comes along. Actually I really like the X5 but can't afford one right now!
But if the time frame was 5 months ago when I bought the CL-S, if it didn't exist then, I would have bought the Accord coupe V6.

What was wrong w/ the 540? And you are allowed to just return cars if you dont like them? Isn't there a no cool down period or a lemon law or something? ::shrugs::

It was indeed the CA lemon law that caused them to take the car back. Of course, it was on the lot the following week.

If they made a 4.6L versiou ls the Lincoln LS... I would have bought it rather than the CL. That is one powerfull V8. Maybe a convertible hardtop LS? THAT would be awesome!
Also... the 2003 Mustang will be on the same platforn as the LS and S-Type.

I would go with a new Max SE.
Ever since I saw the CL-S in the Yahoo auto section I was addicted. A week later I went to see if it was as beautiful in person as in picture. I test drove it, now I wake up in cold sweats every night as a white CL type-S blows the doors off my 95 Neon Sport with power windows! I can't take it anymore, maybe I won't make it to summertime!
------------------
C'mon summertime, my divorce bills will be paid and I'll be ready for that white Type S!

Ya know if i had about $250,000 i'd love to have an Aston Martin Vanquish. Have you seen this thing! It's freakin' sweet!!! 450 horses, 0-60 @ 4.5 sec, top speed 190mph, automatically shifted 6 speed manual (sportshift i'm assuming). But what gets me is how it looks. It's like a Beauty and the Beast in one car.
