Took the dive! Aegean 03 CLS 6MT Ordered

Well - I took the plunge. I took a long hard look at the Aegean TL Type S in the parking look and I decided to get brace and go for it! Silver is nice ... but it is so ... already what I had

By the way - my dealer is NOT saying anything about the details of the car expect for the colors. They say 60-90 days from now they should start coming in. I guess we wait for Jan 3-4 LA Auto Show for the real deal

I am psyched !!!

No problem. Just book a flight into LAX and I'll pick you up on the way to the show.

Congratulations and welcome to the waiting list.

I’m still not sold on the color of mine yet.
The order is written for RED, but they said I can change that when they get the final specs on the car.
They told me the VIN assignments would come out in LATE January and I would have to lock in a color then or wait and see what they get.

Next time I’m up there I’m going to take a look at a CL with the BLACK interior, but I’m really hooked on Parchment.
I just can’t stand that “marble” trim and who knows how long it will take for the wood kits to come out for the 2003.

I wish I could order an AEGEAN BLUE or SEMA BLUE with Parchment interior.

All they said that they were pretty sure of was a bump in Horsepower and slight changes to the front & rear.
It will probably have headlights like the 2002 TL design.

Of course my fingers will be crossed for a 295HP, Body Kit, 18” Wheel AWD Version.

Yeah - I think we have some wiggle room, but it is good to have a locked spot - after Jan 3-4 LA Auto Show I think the remaining slots are gonna go VERY fast and the complaints about Acura limiting the production will be many

I still stand by 280-295HP, tweak up front and back end (like TL likely), and a body kit standard. Come on Acura - step up

I also hope they nail all the 2001-2002 "quirks" and not too many new ones are introduced. Like the worms coming out of the perforated seats Think they will change the wheel design (assume 17" will stay same and maybe grow to 7.5" wide)?

Jan 3-4 is sooooo close but soooo far away Shawn S!!
