I checked out the new 2003 CL on the CL Forum and I have to say I was dissapointed. The 6-speed I like, but Acura really did nothing else. The styling was minimal, it looks like an I35 from the front end and for the back they whited out the tailights like they did on out Tl's. I thought they were going to do a total redesign?And it's still 260 hp for Type S. I expected more power. Personally I wasn't looking to buy one since I have a TLS, but makes you wonder what Acura is doing?

 

it's been said that both the cl and tl would be totally redesigned for the 04 models, which will be released in march 03..... of course acura won't have any new thing for the 03 cls......

and although the cls still comes with 260hp, the 6 speed manual will produce a much high hp at wheels. our tls lose almost 60hp at wheels coz' of the auto tranny. now with the manual, the hp at wheel coule be awesome.

 

My bad, I didn't know the CL was getting the redesign for 2004, then it wouldn't make sense for changes on the 2003.
