I wanted to gather some thoughts from you all on WHY you chose to purchase your TL over a CL-S when the price difference between the 2 aren't more than a few thousasnd more..
Any feedback/insight would help in my decision of choosing which car to get.
Thanks!

I have had 2 four door cars befre and I wanted a 2 door car that was a pocket rocket. I picked the CL-s cause it wa a ****in dart and it destroys bmw's. Thats my reason and its a beautiful car.

I already have a 2-door, wanted the 4-door for ease for passengers. And got walk-out for $29,400 with mudguards and mats. I wish it had the fuel economy of my Accord, but I got it for the automatic for traffic. I drive the Accord nites and weekends, and the TL for sitting in daily work traffic to and fro.
And it's a purely gorgeous car.

cuz in my opinion a TL is better looking than CL, and it's got 4 doors which means my passengers can easily get in/out of the car. Powerwise i can spend that 2 grand and mod it up.. But now TL-S is coming out (according to Snook's friend) I might very well consider trading it in or get TL-S parts on my TL.

2. CL-S only accomodates 4 people at max
3. it's easier for friends to get inside with 4 door.
4. Not much mods for CL-S yet !

CL-S has a fugly rear end unfortunately.
Otherwise it gives most bang for buck in its class. Actually, just the extra HP, gauges, and memory seats..etc are worth it.
But I just wanted a sedan!

Why I choose the TL over the CL;
1.)CL has a bad looking rear end where as the TL has a great looking end.
2.)Anyone find the CL too bubbly looking? The TL has less of that and more sharp corners in it body style = more aggressive looking.
3.)Didn't like CL mags, TL mags are the best looking I've seen, too bad it's a 16" only![](http://www.acura-tl.com/ubb/frown.gif)
4.)TL is cheaper, it was a lot cheaper than the CL when I went to buy it, about 35k's cdn for the TL.
5.)4 door is more practical, to carry my babes in the back! j/k!

First of all the CL-S wasn't available when I bought my TL. However, I think I would still have gone for the TL since I really prefer the look of a sedan over a coupe. I do have people in the back seats on a regular basis so the rear seat room was an issue too, as was access to the rear. I do like the look of both cars and would have preferred the memory seats and 6 CD changer of the CL.

come on man, these are all valid points on why u would pick the tl over the cl, but I just want to say that the ass on the new cl-s is soooooo much better than the old style, and if it had stayed like that with the new model, i would have snatched up that gorgous white tl with the navi and aerokit, but i love the new cl-s so much more.

If memory serves, the TL has more doors than the CL-S. I can't remember how many more doors it has, but I think it was a LOT!
I like my cars with as many doors as possible. So does my kid.
I told the dealer "gimme a car with a lotta power and a lotta doors."

Easy now guys. My CL-S is very sensitive about her butt. IMHO the rounded tail lights in combination with the rear spoiler look rather nice on the CL. That said I have to admit I am also fond of the rear on the TL because it reminds me of the Legend. I also wish the mags for the TL were available in 17" or 18" because I would put them on my CL-S. The CL-S works for me because I like coupes and because 99% of the time it's me or me and one passenger.

Well, they hadn't come out with the Cl & Cl-s
when I decided on the TL. All there was were some poor pics I saw here & there. I didn't want 2 wait on a car I knew little of, & the TL was sooo great. I like the CL-s, it's a great looking car in it's own wright, albeit the REAREND! j/k!

Good thing this is in the TL forum, first of all the CL and the CL-S is UGLY!!!! Yeah I said it UGLY!!!! Now What?
If I wanted a two door car, I would buy a used NSX. You can get a good one for the price that you paid for your CL-S. With the NSX, I would whoop all your CL-S butts in a race. HAHA
I bought the TL because it was pratical and a great value for the car, I wanted something that could replace my Legend. I think the TL is worthy.

to each his own. I could go on and on about what is ugly in the TL... but I wont... cuz Id be stupid cuz I owned a TL also.
I think they both look great... all I know is that my CLS gets GREAT comments from everyone even people that hated my TL.
Looks are subjective... most CL owners dont like the looks of the TL... and most TL owners dont like the looks of the CL... then theres the few that are indifferent...
if your making a buying decision... dont consider what WE say about looks... go to the dealer and look at it yourself...
Most of the people bashing the looks of the CL never even saw one in person... they go by the shitty pictures.
So make your own decision in looks...
What it really comes down to after that is the "feel" of the car... so test drive both... you will notice a difference that isnt achieveable by standard mods like springs/headers etc.
but whatever your decision... you will end up PIMPing an Acura... both of which look sweet... so either way YOU WIN.

You have to consider that the TL was probably tageted for thos 35+ year old people that wanted something conservetive and change the way people thought about the Lexus ES300. The CL-S in my opinion handles superbly, and the power is WOW! Need I say more.
All said and done, I agree with Soopa, to each his own yet I still love my TL! You have to see one for yourself and test drive both cars...keep in mine this board is saying that the TL-S is coming next summer.

I did see a silver CL-s at one of my firend's Berkely apartment this past weekend & it looked good. She had to drag me away 'cuz I might have the impulse to trade in my TL for one bad ass CL-S ..

It would be interesting to known the ages and marital status of the folks replying, since this page started out as quasi-scientific study! In any event I am 48 and I'm married with two teenage daughters. I decided that I wanted a car that I was proud of and one that was a blast to drive but consideration had to be given my family so I opted for the TL. I don't regret a thing. Now, maybe if I was single or there was just the wife and myself the CL would be more appealing (especially the extra 35 hp)but for my present circumstances my black 2000 TL is perfect Greg

I bought a CL-s in the "sh*t color", i'm assuming you mean sundance gold. I'm 47 with two teenagers. The one doesn't worry about riding in the back of a two door because he's always busting on me to let him drive it. My younger daughter thinks I'm going to sell it to her when she starts driving in about 16 months. BTW I've got nothing but raves about the color of this car and hopefully when the TL-s comes out they won't have this color available. I love being not only the only CL-s around but the only gold around for any make/model.

I first wanted to buy a TL, though when the CL came out, i changed my mind.
THIS IS WHY I CHOSE A CL-S OVER A TL:
-SPEEED!!!,
-REAL LEATHER, not 50% vinyl like on the TL
- 6 disc IN DASH,
-Perforated Seats
-LOVE the 17" Rims, gonna love them more after getting them chrome dipped.
-My PHAT tires!!
-Black Marble like wood trim, very original, and i have gotten MILLIONS of compliments on the black wood (i purchased http://www.acura-tl.com/ubb/Forum11/HTML/000970.html this wood kit today)
- White Gauges
- And the look is more futuristic than the TL
- HANDLING
-Memory Seats, (one for chill driving/and one rush performance driving)
-FWD How many people can drive their sports cars in the winter like i can?
-Even the side mirror that automatically goes down so i can see the curb in reverse made the CL so much cooler,
-The electronic moving seats!! to let people in the back..makes me and others go crazy
The price tag being more than the TL is well worth the money, ..
A lot of people are not gonna agree with me, but its my car, so i get it how i like.
I dont buy my cars for other people, (just cause i have friends, wont mean i am gonna buy a 4 door, familiy is different, but friends, never) I am not a Bittch to buy a car to suit my friends comfort in the back.
If the CL did not exist, i would definetly be driving a phat TL.

-Even the side mirror that automatically goes down so i can see the curb in reverse made the CL so much cooler,
-The electronic moving seats!! to let people in the back..makes me and others go crazy
The price tag being more than the TL is well worth the money, ..
A lot of people are not gonna agree with me, but its my car, so i get it how i like.
I dont buy my cars for other people, (just cause i have friends, wont mean i am gonna buy a 4 door, familiy is different, but friends, never) I am not a Bittch to buy a car to suit my friends comfort in the back.
If the CL did not exist, i would definetly be driving a phat TL.

don't like the standard wheels on the normal CL, and only had maximum of $30,000 even $1,000 more is too much.
