uniqueness

I love the uniqueness of the CL-S. Why, I only saw 4 of them (plus mine) on the Capitol Beltway this morning. And about 5 CL-Ps as well.

They're out there, but yeh, it's no Toyota Camry. I was out in the City a couple weeks ago and it looked like a meet for a second. There was 3 on one block. Mine looked the best though.... The other ones were still riding on stock springs.

Rarely see any CLs and never see any 03s. There are two 01s at work, a nice red/black and a neglected silver one.

Compared to all the others (Nissan’s, Toyota’s, Honda’s, Audi's, VW's, Chevy’s. Pontiacs. Fords, …) the Acura CL is a rare breed.

I drive 30 miles each way to and from work. Only see one (on the road) and one parked down the street from where I work.

Ya I rarely see any CL-S on my way to White Marsh, and definitely no '03s. There's a white '01 with gaudy chrome rims at the Bank of America near work, but that's it. Most CLs on I-95 north of Baltimore are P's with old people driving them

I followed a Red 01 or 02 CLS w/ the gold package and tints on the way to work today, but usually I don't see any 2nd Gens for a week at a time.

I've probably only seen 10-20 CL's in the last two years here. Two of that 10-20 were Type-S. Very rare here.

The four I saw this morning were all '01 or '02 (had the all red tails). Two blacks (not as nice as mine), a red (pristine), and a silver (very nice). All looked nice, but I was just surprised. Then again, I commute 48 miles each way and cross the American Legion Bridge along with close to 300,000 other people each day. Probably more a function of my noticing them more often

Wow you see 9 on 1 trip to work and that is unique? I can a week without seeing one at all. And I rarely see an SMR like mine. There used to be a gold one at work but he moved on.

03 CL-S 6 speeds are very, very rare up here in canada. had numerous offers to buy my car, no one with any real $$$ though. But I don't see many 69 rs/ss 396 camaro's either. I love turning heads.

They are pretty much non-existant up here in metro Detroit, as this is domestic city. I have maybe seen 15 the entire time I have owned my car, maybe 3 or 4 of them hve been 03's. Lots of TL's up here though.

Speaking for old people- we have feelings, too.


PS- I've blown away quite a few kids with my light-mod CLP!

I would venture to say I have the Nicest CLS in Pinellas County.

I like to think of the CLS offering exclusivity

You might see one more running around now that I've dusted mine off from winter hybernation. I agree about not seeing many and I'm always breaking my flippin neck to see if somebody has some mods or a A-CL sticker or SOMEthing. Once saw two cute girls rocking a couple CL's. Don't know if they were in any club though.
