Something I've noticed lately...

Within the past month or so, I've seen quite a few CL-S' around. And of the majority, they were 01-02 models. However, about 90% of these 01-02 models were stock with older people driving them...and had the '03 Side View Mirrors on them. And SOME of them even had the lower front grille body matched like the '03s. Why in HELL is this? It's confusing the shit out of me. I want the 03 side view mirrors and body matched lower front grille!!!

I see more woman driving CL's by me. The mirros were changed in 02. The grill? Maybe they messed the bumper up, & when it was fixed the shop painted over the front part. Alot of body sops think it's supposed to be painted.

Maybe they bought them used and the previous owner did those mods.

Oddly, I see a bunch of them in Newark. They are all bone stock except this white one I've seen a couple times driven by this pretty hot chick. All the other ones are driven by older folks.

Yep, you and me are old peeps I've seen a couple of people with gray hair driving a CLS too... Those are really old people

It's funny 'cause the target demographic for the CLS was for people in their 30's and above, but the demographic here on this forum is mostly 20 year olds. The marketing dept. at Acura really missed the mark on that one. They should have offered the 6spd from the 2001 model introduction too...
