Besides the CL, I have two Integra GS-Rs... I grew up as an Integra enthusiast and will be one until I die. Definitely love the CL though!

Its a 69 Camaro. It had a 350 with an auto trans in it. I rebuilt and stroked the 350 to a 383. I am in the process of buying a 4 speed tranny and 12 bolt rear. Most of the styling will be similar to the RS Camaros. Car still needs a ton of work.

LOL. German cars aren't really unreliable, just maintenance intensive compared to Japanese cars and don't tolerate neglect well. So when the average Joe neglects them the appear unreliable.

The CL is my daily that does 500 miles a week and can tolerate minimal maintenance. It's a good blend of performance, reliabilty and economy. I have an M5 as my weekend toy. It's high maintenance but the best car I've ever owned for my driving style. You have to pay to play LOL. The handling and performance are incredible, but it wears things out very fast compared to the CL. It's a complicated machine but is SO rewarding to drive when it's tip top.

I also have an older Land Rover Discovery for truck duty tasks like picking up boxes, towing trailers, driving in snow etc.

Yea, the S62 is a great motor - especially that sound

But I think I'd go with the LSx simply due to cost per hp.

My garage is not very exciting as we have a 1 and 2 year old.
2006 Odyssey EXL (think car seats, power sliding doors, and strollers)
2007 CRV AWD EXL (rain/winter)
2003 CLS6 (more of a dd than I thought)

Owned in past 2 years:
2003 MDX Touring (bought in Sep '11 from 1st owner w/ 32k miles)
2005 TL auto (bought new and drove 110k miles trouble free)
1966 Chevelle SS396 4sp (owned 8.5 years, replaced with CLS)

On my list to own: Vette, S2000, NSX, Supra, CTSV

I love Grand Nationals! Or is that a run of the mill turbo Regal (can't tell)? Either way still super cool.

I just picked up an 03 TL-S pearl white on Thanksgiving. That's in addition to my daily '01 CL-S. I just figured with 200k miles on the CL, the TL will be the contingency plan for all my aftermarket parts .
