Is it just me?

I don't get it. Everytime I get a new car, I sware that I see them everywhere on the road. Is it just me, or are we (2nd Gen CL/CLS) a rare breed of car owners? I mean, I see TL's/TL-S' all of the time but no CL/CLS'. I live in Tucson,Az and I've driven my car up to PHX plenty of times and I feel like i'm the only one with this car on the friggin roads. I love my car and feel special, but at the same time I feel alone (lol,jk).

I don't give a crap, but i'd like to see other CL/CLS on the road just to admire mine more. I mean damn, people just stare at me and my car like they've never seen one before.

We are a rear breed. But, give it a while and you'll start seeing them. I didn't notice a lot of them until I got mine. Have you been to any of the meets?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make your CL stand out above the rest.

I hear ya. But to be quite honest, and i'm serious when i say this, the only other CL/CLS that ive seen here is in the dealer parking lot.

Most people who can/do buy Acuras are looking for the 4 door family type car. The CL was priced just a little out of the range of the sort of people that would have liked to buy the car.

I did see a SMR 2nd gen Saturday on my street when I was going home...

I usually see alot more 1st gen CL's then I see 2nd gen. I can probably count on one hand the number of 2nd gen CL's I see in a week or 2 (usually the same ones on the highway during my commute).

When i got my TL, no one had it, then after a few months i started seeing them like crazy. One guy with the same color, bodykit and wheels as me told me that he got his TL because he saw mine around. Fucking biter.

I occasionally see CL's around, but mostly TL's. But I rarely see a 6MT.

CLS is super rare here. More will start to pop up as the price on them goes down. When I first got mine, people didn't even know what it was.

Never see any CLs by me. TLs are like frigin Civics though. Everyone in my area has one. And I guess I shouldn't expect to many really when most coupes around here start at 40k and up (CLKs, 3 series, few Gs, Modenas , SLs(not really coupes)). Sometimes its just painful to look out and see such beatiful cars.

Although Types1967 works in my town, so I sometimes see his car around.

Theyre super rare here also. But by the time that the price goes down and they start popping up everywhere, I hope that i've distanced myself from the pack. Headers and intake are the first to be put on. Then the drop and exhaust. Finally, a supercharger. I wanna keep the wheels stock to keep the sleeper look.

I guess it's a good thing that we are a rare breed. I mean, I get the look everywhere i go and the chicks super dig my ride!
