need opinions
Hi guys/gals,
this is my first post, I look at this board and the TL board every so often. Anyway here's the deal. I just got a job with Honda R&D in Ohio and can get a 2 year lease on a CLS/TLS for around $550/mo. The deal is is that this price includes insurance through the company and all taxes. I can put 30k miles/year on the car w/o penalty and they pay for all maintenance and tires, oil changes etc. Or I could lease a Prelude base 5-speed for around $435/mo. or an Integra GSR for $406/mo. Both of these also inlude insurace and taxes. My question is basically what would you get? Money being somewhat of an issue, but not everything. I really like driving a manual transmission too.
BTW-I can't get an S2K or NSX on a lease.
thanks

Sounds like you have somewhat eliminated the CLS/TLS from your list ... I love the car but it doesn't have the manual tranny you prefer ... maybe you should lease something cheaper until the 6 speed comes out next year ...
