Not many new CL's selling in the Lehigh Valley.
I’ve seen a total of maybe 25 on the road since the car came out last year.

I prefer it that way.
I don’t like to see “myself” driving down the road every day.

There are LOTS of TL's here though.

There's a guy at work who I was talking about how great the CL is. And he said he's getting one if there is manual, which is cool.

So I ask him what color he's going to get and he said the BLUE!!!! I think maybe I'll talk him out of the CL now.

I've seen two other first gen CLs and one '01 CL-S in the work parking lot. Dunno if they've seen my a-cl stickers yet.

I hate seeing other CL when the owners act like they are the shit. I looked and smiled at them, gave them the thumb up and they acted as if they got better cars or something ... Oh, come on, it's the same CL-S. The only nice response that I got came from a girl who sat in the passenger seat. I lowered the window and told them to check out the site ...

Are you in Chanute for work or for pleasure? I hope it's work. Just so you know not all of Kansas is like that. At least not the northeast part around Kansas City.

good god. I was begining to think that all of you were full of schitt. I thought I was the only person in the world that owned one of these great cars. I think I've honestly seen only 5 or 6 CL-S's on the road since I got mine in December. Oh yeah, and I agree that it seems alot of CL owners are sort of pricks. when I do see one I try and go talk to the guy that ownes it (when I'm at the dealer) he's just like ya it's a nice car huh? I don't get it. Guess I need to grow up and stop being enthusiastic. Maybe I'm just still used to my integra that I traded for the CL-S. seems like Integra owners were more into cars. gonna stop rambling on right now. Goodnight all. :o

Since I bought my CLS two weeks ago, I have seen more and more of them. But I think that can be expected. Everday I see the same two, one just like mine and a chick is behind the wheel.

I brought up this same observation a few months back and asked if acura was having a sale or something. Anyways, I do see more and more in RTP,NC.

The older drivers drive like a horse with blinders on when you try to acknoledge "what a great car." The young ones just look back at you. Rarely I get a wave back. Maybe they're shocked that another CL(-S) on the road.

I would like to see a secret acura-cl.com signal. You know like: BMWs flashing their headlites. Pinto drivers waving their fire extinguisher. And so on.

how about...

When the other guy looks at you... turn your dome light on. If it is night he will see the light, if it is day he will see you lift your arm to turn the light on... what do you all think??

Here in Portland, Or. I only see 1 or 2 per week. Don't get around much though, 500 miles per month. I wave which seems to suprise and confuse the owners, probably confused at birth. I'm happy with my car, feels like a 10 year deal, will be driving "alternative" vehicles by then.

the less you see the better. less likely to get stolen. fine with me. same with my i30t, only a few of them, so i had 2 in a row(96/98) the maxima on the other hand is everwhere. i do not take it out of the burbs.
my 93 legend was stolen twice. the more common the car, the more likely iis is on order(midnite auto sales).

You had better watch out that someone doesn’t “upgrade” to Type-S status on their Ford F-150 by horking your emblem.

I have a feeling they wouldn't want anything associated with an import to be on their trucks.
