Hey H-T I'm in the market in buying a new car. Right now I have a 2k1 Silver GS-R and I'm lookng for something with a little more room but still has power. This week I will be test driver the new Accord v6 and the Acura Cl type-s (w/ 6spd trans). I just wanted some of your guys though about the two vechilces thanks

 

In my opinion, you are pretty foolish to not go for the CL, esp when Accord will be Auto and CL will have 6 speed. If money isnt an option, CL-S hands down. Much more refined ride....bigger, more power, more luxury, better looks (my opinion), satisfaction of knowing that you have a CL-S 6 speed (very rare).

 

the 03 accord v6 comes in a 6speed option...

and what is rare about a 2003 cl?

 

Coz cl-s cost more and yeah..less ppl have them.
I'll say hit the cl-s with 6speeds.

 

you might wait till January when the new acura TSX comes out.

220hp/6spd Type S should start around 25k...

one has already been spotted being driven around by Honda USA employees in Torrance California...

That last link is beautiful. I sell Acuras and so far all we've heard is the Type-S is getting 200hp but I have heard rumurs about the 20 but not from honda. As for the Accord and CL-S, the CL is by far the faster of the two. It's got more hp, torque, a better build quality, longer warranty, and the price is $31k MSRP. The 6sp Accord will be somewhere around $27 or 28K that doesn't include dealer markup. Without a discount the CL is worth alot more than the 3K difference. Drive them both you'll see what I'm talking about. If you live in Washington DC area stop by Karen Radley Acura/VW and see me, I'll get you a good deal. :D

 

The CL is an absolutely wonderful car. The quality of the interior is unbelievable and it is remarkably quiet and solid. Engine is extremely powerful and smooth, the transmission is awesome and it still gets as much as 30mpg. I also like not seeing too many of them around... I hear there were only 2700 6-Speeds made so in a way it is a rare car. For only a few grand more you can have the CL, but the Accord is also a very good car. I chose the CL for its exclusivity and tremendous value.

 

THanks for the reply guys. SOrry I live far up North in DE wo Washington is a hike for me. Thanks for the offer though the Accord is getting driven tomorrow while the Cl type s and Infiniti G35 is this weekend

 

LOL well hey I gotta try. Good Luck.
