I'm having a tough time deciding...

EricS

Mine was easy: 1) Already have a more tossable car than the RSX. 2) Wanted a bit more room than the RSX & 3) the CL is more 'luxurious'.

Everything! Navi, comfort, power, look, HIDs, wheels, seats, and so on...

RSX not available in type S when I bought. Come to think of it, RSX not available at all.

RSX wan't available when i bought the CLS either, but after getting the RSX for 4 days as a loaner, I would say it's the little things that makes the CLS more enjoyable. Things like 6 disc changer, steering wheel audio control, HID, nicer seats, roomier, wheels, more power... although I do like the hatch together with the fold down rear seats on the RSX

because my wallet was 10k too heavy...

RSX = boy racer.

no gadgets, gizmos, luxuries, and all my friends can afford it

with CL I get all that, not just anyone is driving it, theres not 600000 on the road, etc etc.

Initially thought the RSX would work for me until I compared the two. The video game dash on the RSX turned me off. I also need the bigger car.

yeah thats the other thing, i didnt want a car that would make me a ricer wanna-be.... stay awaaay from the integras!!! and where i am, there arent too many of my car on the road.... i like that...

Type S

at the time i bought my cls..the RSX was not on the market yet..but even if it was..i will still go with cls as i want a comfortable coupe with auto tranny (SS mode) and luxury...powerful..and V6..that is why i bought my cls

My previous car was an Integra, so I was ready to move into something a bit different (read: more room, comfort, torque, etc.)

Plus, I didn't warm up to the RSX's looks until recently. When I first saw it in person at the NY Auto Show, I HATED it.

Thanks for the input, fellas.

I'm not sure what to do. I figure I waited this long, why not wait another year? There will be a lot of nice cars coming out soon.

-G35 coupe
-350Z
-RX-8

If i were to do it again now, I would wait a year. Anyone of those three should be an awsome car!

I don't have either but the CL-S is definitely what I would choose even though it's $10,000 Cdn more. I find it nicer look, with more goodies, and is NOT everywhere. Popularity is good until everyone has one (eg. Chicago Bull jackets were cool before they won their first championship. When all the kids and men who can't play ball decided to own one, I ditched mine :-)

I am sure the RSX is a nice car for the right people. Too small for my liking, and I probably end up trying to open someone else's door thinking it's mine :-)

Same with Eric!

Funny, I didn't even consider the RSX.
It's too much of a kiddy car IMO...
A co-worker recently got one and I was in it the other day, man what a POS compared to my CL...

Completely different car classes IMO...
It's like asking why would someone buy a CL Type S over a Celica :P

dajuice27

Simple,

6 Feet tall, 215 pounds and growing to 235.

I also have myself a pocket racer with a stick, so why get another coffin, albeit a faster one, but nonetheless, 2 coffins in the garage spell trouble.

Besides, I am going postal in the fall and getting a MDX, seems like I am about to become a father, so the question is moot.

i would have loved to have one when i first saw the car then i saw the back seat i said hell naw plus i just like the roominess in the CL

You really can’t compare the two. One is a 200hp toy (a nice one at that). The other is a 260hp luxury coupe.

The price tag matches what you get.

If you drive the two for more than 10 miles each, I am confident that you see the difference.

mattg

because i got my cl-s w/ headers, springs and exhaust for nearly the same price.

and no offense, but teh rsx is basically a (faster) civic w/ leather. :o

Black CL-S 4-Life

Because I will never buy another 4 banger. Too much road noise.:pee:

Sypher

At the time, my choices were the CL-S or an Integra Type R. After driving a '95 Integra for a couple of years, I thought that the CL was going to be too big for me. But after my first test drive, I figured it was time for me to grow up and buy a big boy's car. Now that the RSX is out, I wouldn't mind having one as a project car, but I don't think I'd want to go back to it as a daily driver. I just like the little upgrades too much.

if i was had the money today I'd easily go with the CL type S just the one(CL ) I sat in was comfortable. it's a "classy"car at the same time it's a "fun car" so you can go to church or to a broadway play with your g/f or wife and race someone on the way there
where the RSX is more of just a street racer car. you don't have all the "goodies" like with the CL(like Navigation system, V-6, and other little things) but if you can spare the 10 grand you won't regret going with the CL man
