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.

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.
