This is the argument I hear most often:
When I'm driving my car down the road, I'm on the INSIDE, so I need it to look real nice to be happy
That's funny, isn't it? When I drive MY car down the road, I spend 99.9% of the time looking out of the windows, not admiring my interior.
I guess that's the reason that I don't give a shit about interior styling anywhere near as much as most people.

I'd expect that kind of crap from a ferrari dealership, because, at least you can understand the 300,000 reasons behind their logic! people have and will always test drive, cars, and making me feel guilty for redlining it, or joy-riding is silly because in the end, they end up discounting, and selling off the demos!

Where as a dealer is liable for the customer driving their car. And all it takes is an idiot test driver to wreck the car and then sue the dealership for whatever reason even though its their own dumb fault.
There are 110 different reasons, scenarios, legalities that van be given as to why dealers do what.
As for discounts, My old dealership would only take off $500 of the msrp of the s2000, and that was rare. We never marked up our cars and s2000s went for msrp. Where as in most other places s2000's go for way over msrp. in fact in LA a used s2000 sells for more then the msrp of a brand new one. So while cars like g35c may end up givings discounts, cars like the s2000 have been out for a few years and still sell for msrp or more.
Now get your ass off the computer and go do something productive like learning to drive a 6spd

I personally drove the fuck out of the car on a test drive...just me & my girl, no salesman. I like the traction control...put that bitch thru the paces on some pretty tight on-ramps for about a half hour. Fastest stock V-6 I've ever driven.
I'm seriously considering one...as soon as the hype wears off a bit. It's still too rare in my neck of the woods...I'd get anal-raped on a trade.

I test drove one this past saturday, all around sweet car. The only reason the CL-S was not history that day was because I realized that with the 6-speed, since you get the super performance tires it would never get me home from work if i had it and an unexpected snow came. The leather was unbelievable, smooth and soft and thick, and I liked the way it was GLUED to the road
#47
No offense, but several of the big general discussion forums I check out.....the CL is a long forgotten about car. I'm serious, nobody gives a shit about it (once in a blue moon I see a topic where it comes up).
On the other hand, people are eating up the G35 coupe. I see way more interest in it than the CL ever had.
If I put up a poll, what would you rather have a CL or G35C? The CL would lose by a complete landslide.
This isn't a CL bitch post, I'm just stating a fact.

about the which i would own. the g35c is nice, but like many im not a huge fan of the of the interior and its very impractical. That and after two accidents in small cars i need something a bit bigger like my CL.

G35 lost to the BMW 330 in accleration and the 330 lost to the CL-S 6 speed. Acura reigns SUPREME but you will get more stares in the G35 Coupe....honestly though most people who buy it are old women....anybody young is all over the 350 Z any of the models ..its cheaper, faster,sportier, younger generation looking. Im sorry I just can't picture a 50 year old man drive one of those HOTT Blue 350Z track model. and if I did I would definetly look twice to make sure my eyes aren't playing tricks on me.
#52
True enough, whether due to poor advertising, conservative styling, FWD, or whatever, it's never gotten popular. It got it's last gasp with the 6-spd, but really the G35 is the car that sealed the fate of the CL-S by taking the position of a better value alternative to a 330ci.

In reality, the interior of the G35c is not bad at all. I think most people who sat in one agree.
Lou: There is no way a CLS can match a G35c at the track - No matter how hooked up the CLS is

Tested 0-60 in 5.5 seconds by C&D. Show me where a stock 6-speed CLS went 0-60 in 5.5 seconds.

I still think the 350Z will kill the G35 in every way.

i should give some honest """""OPINIONS""""" here since i have/had both
Built quality: CLS just SUCKSSSSS
Interior: CLS has more mature looking which i like the most about CLS is the interor), G35C is not as bad as ppl say but cls's is better
Seats: CLS's front seats r VERY comfortable but wait until u sit in the G35C's front seat... it s even better.. Rear seats.. G35C doesnt have enough headroom.
Engine: i would give this one to G35C...
Handling: u cant really compare FWD and RWD especially when G35C has almost 50/50
Which car i like better? I would take a stock G35C 6speed over STOCK CLS 6speed, but i would take my OLD 01 CLS over this new G35C 6speed

In fact its a spanking! car and driver almost hit 13's stock with a 6 speed G! I used to hate on that car a lot myself, bashing the interior and the rear end, but after the dust has settled, its clearly the new KING of its CLASS PERIOD!

Mags are great but Ill be going to E-town soon and Im bound to see a G were we will settle this once and for all. My Cl-S feels quick not to say the G isn't but Ive gone against worked S4 and if I didn't skid it would of been right there...The S4 driver asked at the light after what I had in there I said "stock" he said " Nice thats quick for stock" "thumbsup" Isn't the Z faster than the G so why would the G have better times.

Will see brotha You see here is where the CL-S 6 speed has the advantage cause its the underdog and so if it does prevail more PROPS.

Lou... Whenever you go to E-Town, let me know. Let's get a little Z vs. 6-speed CLS action. I've learned how to launch the Z, and I'm ready to bring it to the track.
BTW, I pulled on my friend's S4 just as a frame of reference.

Sorry about the no test drive thing. At the time, I was stuck in CT for a few weeks, then I remember you went for a test drive at a dealer, so I figured you didn't want to test drive it again after that.
