Did the Deed 01 CL-S -> New 08 Navi-NBP Ebony
Current 01 CL-S owner since new (April 2000!) and finally decided to pull the trigger on an 08 having decided I dont like the price or look of the 09. Color was my biggest dilema as it was a no brainer to go with red on the coupe. I thought it was going to be between PMM and CBP with a taupe interior but then I saw NP/Ebony and that was all it took. THis is my first car with a black interior which I generally dont like but taupe and tan were both too light for my taste.
Already scheduled my tint appt for Friday 35% fr and rr sides and 20% rr.
A few pics.

Oh and for you CL'ers lurking here, I didnt feel the need to do type-S again and I dont regret it at all. The base TL corners a little flatter than my type-s yet it rides better, but is never floaty. I also like the slightly softer seat cushions in the base model. It is also so much easier to find a driving position in the TL. I like how low the seat goes and the telescoping wheel. 2 things I wish my CL had. Other things noticed, the trans in the TL is much better. Always in the right gear (though still gets to 5th too quickly in traffic) but better quicker shifts. The engine also seems to have more torque off the line though the numbers say they are about the same.
Oh and I kept my CL-S as it still looks new in and out!
