The new CL will come out in 2008 with a 340-hp Turbocharged V-6 and 300 pounds of torque equipped with a 6-Speed manual on a RWD platform. Here is a pic

I'd like to see something like what vtec.net has on their model matrix...

Something along the lines of a 2+2 coupe... take a RWD S2000 and add a back seat...

acura still has a coupe it's called the accord coupe. i don't think there is enough interest in a new version mof the CL to justify spending $$$ in R&D to create a new one. they would make little of the investment back if any profit at all. reason they did away with the CL is that no one really bought it and almost everyone got the 4 door instead.

well ive been working with acura on my design since 04. they have finally come to their senses. The overall design is basically complete... as a prototype. but is of course something that I am not allowed to discuss. But between the engine, platform, and time of debut, they have pushed it back to 2008. after many meetings with Honda Corp. they have decided to go with something similar to the design we have been working with. i will be getting one of the first CLs out of the factory before they even come on the showroom floor. I will also get a share of .5% of all 2008 Acura CL sales.
here are the original renderings of the vehicle. there have been many reiterations after this, but i obviously cannot release them, sorry.

WOW. I would hit that thing so fast your head would spin. Seriously, that is awesome looking! It's like a cross between a TL and an Aston Martin. You really outdid yourself this time jaydef (though your story is a little too weak...sorry).WOW
