There's no confirmation from Acura yet that the CL will be dead. There all rumors for now. Those rumors do say production will end by June/July of this year.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it was confirmed by Water-S. His dad works at Honda so I say that's pretty reliable.

I can't imagine they a) would not replace the car; and, b). make it better, ie-more hp, 6 speed, etc. Surely the TSX is not meant to fill the gap b/c from my point of view, it looks like a 89 Civic!

Prelude was discontinued in 2001. Its replacement did not surface until 2003 as the 6spd Accord. So thats a 2-3 year hole in the Honda line up. And while I personlly do like the 6spd Accord it is still not a true sports coupe, not like the prelude.

So Acura can and I believe will be doing this with no replacement in the mean time.

I don't think Honda will spend time and money to redesign the CL. It's just a North-American-market-only coupe with dismal sales number. Potential buyers will have to settle on the Accord V6 coupe, which is not bad of a substitution at all.

An Acura salesman told me he thought the CL would be offered as an 04 but not with manual. At first I thought this was possible but now I'm not sure. Seems like if they do sell it for another year they'd want to offer all existing options that might make a sale. I hope they do drop the manual, then mine will be even rarer!

Ummm....thought the S2000 was the sporty 2 seat replacement for the Prelude.

The dealer told me that the CL-S would be produced until ~october but the sixspeed would end in JUNE. And all orders have already been made for six speeds

I can see this happening too. There may be a redesigned CL or a replacement sometime in the future. Without official word, we won't know for sure. Before the 2nd gen CL came out there was a brief period of time when the CL wasn't in the lineup. There was no 2000 model year CL.
