The wheel wells are too big for the wheels.

General Comments

This Acura cl type s car is awesome. I've got the 6 speed transmission and so far, I've raced and BEAT a BMW roadster M series, a Lotus and everything else I've come across. This car is sooo much value for the money it's crazy. This car is more reliable and more muscle than any 330i. You'd have to be moron to blow your money on an Audi or a BMW.

    I fully agree. I just picked up a 03' CL type 'S'. For me, it was a toss up between the Infinity G35 and the Acura. The Acura won out. I have a 99 CL 2.3. I have 155,00 miles on it and it hasn't given me a problem yet. I decided to go with the Acura. In my book, it beats all the competition, including the Lexus IS-300. I can't wait to get off of work and go for a drive!

    Do you really believe you can out accelerate a Lotus? What kind of Lotus were you racing? A Esprit would blow the CL's doors off, as would a BMW Roadster M. Did you ever stop to consider that they were not even racing you? Get real.

    I'm feel sorry for your obvious ignorant stance towards the Acura CL Type S. If you really knew very much about current automobiles, you'd know that the difference between the overpriced "sport" car segment and the other automobiles such as the "luxury" sport segment are not very big. The posted 0-60 time on a "6spd" CL type is is 5.9 seconds. Many of the fastest published times of BMW M roadsters and older lotus' are at most a 1/2 second faster. Did you stop to consider that the guy driving the BMW may have been driving an auto or it was a stick but the driver was the typical yuppy with money who can't shift?? If you'd like to know, the Lotus was SLIGHTLY faster 0-60 than I was, but by the time we were at 125 I was 2 full car lengths ahead of him. The BMW race was close but I still dusted him. Hey, even even if I could even come close to matching there speed it would be testament enouph that the CL Type S is an awesome car given that it cost 1/3 of the price. Just because a car is a BMW, Porsche, or Lotus, doesn't automatically mean it's unbelievalbly fast, it means that it is very expensive; If you were a true driving enthusiast, your ignorance would not be so blatent.
