Well, I don't have the CL-S anymore.

I couldn't resist...

2003 Z06, had 22K miles on it when I bought it.

I enjoyed my time with the Acura, though, and when it's time to get something more practical again, it'll definitely be up there for consideration.

good luck

As far as acura being more practical. I am hearing horror stories out there with people returning cars under the lemon laws etc.

Acura has lost a lot in my opinion and after owning a couple I will not go back... until they get their act together.

Nice... With the C6 out now, and rumors flying about a next gen Z06, the C5 pricing is getting really tempting. I can understand how you couldn't resist

Sweet ride, congrats and enjoy.

What'd you pick her up for? I bet there's great deals out there with the new vette now on the market.

I am incredibly envious if you can afford to have the CL *and* a C6 Z06!

Thanks for all the comments, guys. I'm very happy with my purchase

And to reiterate what others mentioned earlier - although it is fast in a straight line, it is also one of the top cars in the twisties straight from the factory that money can buy.

Nice performance machine- but doesn't the Cavalier interior irk you a bit? I mean I know the fake plastic Acura wood is pretty atrocious, but still...

Congrats, perhaps I'll see you around the drag strip and running my Nissan~

Hey at least they absolved that in the new TL. But i'd take the fake aluminum (er. satin) anyday of the week over this fake wood, er plastic--if it would match the tan interior.

Alas it won't so I shall just suffer in silence.

LOL, I agree...i'd prefer if Acura would just have made the panels plastic like the Honda Accord. I hate the fake damn plastic wood---especially after getting out of the BMW and into the CL.

Ugh. what are you gonna do?
