I've read a few reviews of the CL vs. BMW 3 series, and the CL does pretty well. I think the CL-S even has a LSD of some type these days that closes the gap between FWD and RWD. I'm not saying that puts it in the enthusiast class. In fact, most of the gripes I hear about Acuras 'bigger' cars is the lack of excitement. Vanilla city. I agree on the GS-R, and I almost did buy one. But I wouldn't buy a coupe, it would be the 4-door. : Yup - I am not meaning to be an ass - just saying that all opinion and personal prefernce items aside, it's a great car. Someone who is considering buying one prolly is not too concerned with the auto tranny or the front-wheel drive setup. Oh I know you mean to be an ass. :) That's why I like our discussions so much. We can be confrontational, and still agree on almost every point. LOL I think most people should drive a FWD car, they just don't have the training/skills to handle RWD. :p : -Jacob Type-S R&E Type-R
: Me niether, though I also thought I would never own another FWD CAR period. Here's me owning a Maxima. I would buy an Integra GS-R if the price were right. FWD can be fun (especially with some sturdy lunch trays and a good parking brake) but... Imagine where the 3.2CL would be today if it were RWD! It's amazing to me that Hondacura doesn't realize this too. If the 3.2CL were RWD - it would surely be some sort of enthusiast vehicle now and it would be seriously challenging the 330Ci's, G35s and stuff out there. But it's still a good car for someone who doesn't care which wheels are turning...
: Right back atcha big guy :)
