Oh, and wait, BMW does make drive train changes as well... their adding SMG to the lineup. Would suck to be a '01 slushbox driver no?

Wouldn't that be awesome, a 2003 CL/TL with a 6 speed sequential and AWD.

That would really make BMW start looking at Acura as a serious competitor.

typeR: Good point. Definately could be possible... albeit extremely awkward.

Guess only time will tell...

But yea its weird that they held out on the 6spd for the extra model year.

Tho, I still dont think well see a CL on the new platform this soon. But... maybe with CL sales being so shallow they got a fire under their ass!

Makes ya wonder how much an awd 325hp version of the CL-S would be???

We might be looking at a much higher price range......

awd/300+ HORSES etc

YEAH RIGHT, Acura would price themselves right out of the whole reason people are buying them "VALUE".

C'mon let's be real folks.
