drewJ32A2

Im getting a 6 speed cl later on this summer. I have an 01 cl-s

03 CL TypeS

My next car is a Z06 Vette. Depending on where I will live at the time, I will either trade-in the CLS for the Vette, or keep it as a beater!

phipark

Keeping my 02 CLS until it's paid off. I think that's another 3 years. Then the next Acura coupe, which hopefully will be out then.

CLASSYCLS

me too!! but mine is a 03 CL-S6 that wont be paid off for a very long time !! I hope I will still have it by then

Shawn S

The CL-S will be around for a few more years as a secondary car and winter beater.
Something a bit more sporty and RWD will be entering the stable next year.

123456SPEED

It'll be a new coupe, from either Acura, Lexus (IS), or maybe BMW(3).
None of these are out yet, probably in 1-2 years.

After the CL goes, my next baby will be the 2006 Audi RS4 (it's finally coming to the U.S.!).

That's always been my dream car... 414hp, all-wheel drive.... what more can I ask for?

mclarenf3387

Well I plan on keeping the car a while (5+ years), but either the new Subie Legacy GT (ala VXCL and mattg) or maybe even a TrailBlazer SS

AMorgCLS

Going for the E46 M3 04' sometime before the end of the year. Doesnt matter what i get (SMG or 6mt), but i want either Silver, Black or Laguna Seca Blue with Navi.

F900

I'll tell u this it won't be a ACURA lol Range Rover or a 6 Series BMW Coupe

R J Poseidon 6

Not quite sure what's next yet,

however....

I'm keeping my CL-S until about 2010 as to the fiancee is next for a ride.

baboya96

I have to agree with F900... without acura in my family... Only planning on enjoying my ride till 80,000 ~90,000 miles. (currently have about 20,000) so that's what..good 3 to 4 years of driving??? sounds good to be me. Next ride would have to be something real sporty.. possible two seaters only... wouldn't go for convertible tho... 350Z seems like a good choice for me for now..

babyblue

Next car most likely the s2000...

Callic2

I'm probably going to opt for the new BMW 330ci they increased the hp..or an 04 M3, the new audi Rs4 doen't sound bad either considering i live in NJ not CA.

Rspec

Next car is going to be the upcoming 330Ci or a used 645Ci but i plan on still having my CL in the garage wont get for it so might as well keep it. .

Til it falls apart. So maybe another 2 years or so.

GreenMonster

I'm not sure, but since my 6spd is paid off, I plan on keeping it for awhile...

I'm probably good till 2007 (or so). If acura comes out with a RWD/AWD Coupe built in Japan, I might be tempted to trade in the CLS for that. The new Mustang, redesigned G35c (Skyline??), BMW M2 (or 330), or the new Toyota Supra are other vehicles I'll be interested to see in the next few years.

I'm thinking like some others who have posted here. The CLS will be a nice luxury winter beater to compliment a RWD summer only car like a S2000, old Porsche 911, C5 vette, etc...

Callic2

Your cl is paid off, must be nice... i wish mine was

CL Platano

Is there another car besides Acura I actually want to upgrade to a TL 6spd if wifey would let me. Yo!! Who has the Blue TL with the Hyperblack rims in our hood?? Is that your boy who had the black grand am??

GreenMonster

I'm a cheap bastard, and I put down a decent down payment on the CLS when I bought it. I hate monthly payments.

My last car (94 Tbird V8) was bought in 95 w/ 15K miles on it... Carried a 5 year note on it, but drove it for 4 more years while it was paid off. While the tbird was paid off, I put the monthly payment in savings so that I had the downpayment for the CLS. Doing the same thing now for the next car (that will be several years away).

Heck, the way I'm thinking now (which changes day to day ) I might have to keep the CL till 2009 and buy a used 2007 model (of one of the cars I mentioned above)

Shawn S

It’s a shame we’ll all be moving on to other brands and have nothing left to look forward to from Acura.
Even if they DO come out with a 2-Door CL successor, it will probably be a US built Accord based vehicle.
Then they’ll complain when no one buys it.

Shawn S…. Acura driver since 1991

ac2001cls

Well my plans are as follows:

It should be paid towards the middle of next year. It would have been 3 1/2 years for me. I'm sooo excited. I then will do as a member aforementioned about taking my monthly payment and just banking that in order to save money. I plan on doing that for a half a year to a year and then hopefully get the Acura RL!!! Originally i was thinking about the TL but it's a lil too small as far as int. space in the back seat. Then again by that time my son should be able to sit in the front seat possibly w/ a seat belt so if that's the case, i would stick with the TL. So i guess i'll make up my mind when it comes to that time.

I definitely plan on keeping my CL Type S. It's a 2001 w/ only 54k miles on it. I actually think it's time for my tranny to be replaced b/c i can hear it alil going from 2nd to 3rd gear like it's idling high before it changes. So i guess depending on how it's acting when it's close to that time or when i get up to about 80k miles will determine whether or not i keep it as well. TOO MANY DECISIONS!!!!!!!!

03 CL TypeS

Though this sounds pretty obvious to me, just thought I would mention that every smart automatic CL owner would ditch the car before it hits the 100,000 mile mark.

Callic2

u know that's how i came up w/ this thread. My car has 80 grand right now (highway miles) and was thinking to my self if i can manage another 2years of saving. One year to pay the whip off and the next to save..hopefully my baby last

i'm keeping mine for a while (atleast 4-5 years)

next, i'd like a 6-series BMW or if Acura has a hot coupe

AMorgCLS

After reading about the new Audi RS4, I might have to scrap the BMW M3 and wait for the RS4. 4 doors is more practical than 2 in Real Estate. Oh yeah, more HP and AWD helps also hehehe

Minch00

The RS4 is going to be around 70k. That's a hellacious amount of cash for an A4.

PDX3.2TL

Not going with 4 wheels next. Going with a Yamaha R6 2001 for 3K! It'll happen within the next year (I hope). That's my next toy considering the TL has all the bolt ons that I want to put on. No SC for me on my 85K miles.

mystikk

After the PDG is gone, I want a 6speed in SMR. This car's too great for me to let go.

AMorgCLS

70K??? Maybe i'll stick with the M3 and be non-practical Maybe used when it's around 45K-50K. I never knew it was that pricey

erishe69

I probably keep the '03 CL-S untill the wheels fall off, but the next car when I can afford it will be a '94 Porsche RS America or Turbo 964

GreenMonster

Here's one...

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showt...hreadid=226320

I love to have an 72 or 73 T, but I think I've waited too long. Prices are thru the roof now on the early 911s... Looks like I'll have to buy a 911 with a galvanized body (SC or G-50 Carrera), but pricing on the 993's (especially the 1995's) are looking really attractive...

GreenMonster

Great choice in color
