CL to be Discontinued

Heard on the radio today that Acura will stop making the CL; I guess it was too close to the TSX line.

the CL isn't too close to the TSX line....i mean if the TSX was available with 2 doors...then yes

I am sure the CL is here to stay because it's the luxury Accord coupe...

It's a good idea for acura to trash the CL(no offense CL driver) and come up with a slightly tweaked TL-coupe a la G35 sedan and G35 coupe. Beside, the CL is a TL with two doors.

I guess but I like the TL Better.. Usually The Coupe always looks better than the Sedan, but I speak differently about the TL AND CL

CL is definitely on the way out. Hopefully in a few years it will come out with a bad-a$$ coupe.

My dealer told me a few months back this was likely to happen. Only one reason he said-the CL has not been a big seller and a big disappointment for Acura.

i dont understand all this about a "tl coupe", thats exactly what the cl is. granted its a bit different, but how much closer to the tl do you expect it to be?

A CL is a two door TL. It's that simple. So obviously, Acura won't be rolling out a "two door TL" anytime soon. There is no market for a big luxury FWD 2 door anymore. TL's outsell CL's almost 6 to 1 (Total sales Jan - April 2003). And while TL sales are down 14% 2003 vs. 2002, CL sales are down 35% compared to 2002.
