Do u think Acura might refab teh '04 with a 3.5 option for the CLS?
Or if someone knows for definate what with the '04 have compared to the '03s?

only if they still continue production and have a 04 CL...

OK but when will we know definately that they are killing off the CLS in '04?

All I've been hearing are rumors. Or are those rumors actuall facts?

Doubtfull.

dream on

If there is a 2004 CL it probably will have a 3.5. I'm sure all the 3.2s will be bumped up to 3.5.

I don't see the 3.5 as being an option, per se.

Assuming they are keeping the CL, they will likely either stick with the 3.2CL or go to the 3.5CL, not both.

The 3.2 is a great engine and more hp can be gotten from it. Look at the NSX...that's a 3.2. If the CL is continuted for '04 and I think it will because the tooling is probably paid for, you might see a slight increase off the 3.2. They might save the 3.5 for a different upcoming model.

i dont see the 3.5 happening unless they are going to beef up the hp. but then they would need to give the cl a RWD so i guess that wont happen anytime soon

I can see the 3.5 happening, because the MDX is goin up .3 liters to 3.8.

HAAAAA . FK the 3.5L conversion that some people are going for. I'll wait for the 3.8 conversion along with the CT SC .

But where did u hear that the MDX is gonna get a bump up?

Juker008

I've read that it will have a 3.4 liter with 280 H.P ...

stupid, the 03's jus came out...u gonna have to wait till next yr man

Where did read this. And why would it go with a displacement that they are not familiar with. I mean a 3.5 is out now so why not just use that.


Juker008

U silly Nube. Boy we really do have some idiots in this forum . Read a couple of posts from the past and u will see that some people have got connections. And 'can' actually tell us what is the future for the CLS.

In the future if u don't know just shut the FK up.

Well, seeing as how the new 03 Accords came out, I'd say its a safe assumption that the new CL's might go the same path...

What I mean is, that Acura just might keep the J32A block and up the HP through different means other than displacement. The Accords kept the J30 and pumped out 40 more horses. So imaging what Honda could do to the CL, when it has .2 more liters, dual stage intake manifold and a 6 speed....

But thats all my theory on it..

Not correct. The MDX will stay at 3.5, but H.P. will increase to 260.
