Default Keep SC or move to Acura? lol

So, I have thoughts to sell my SC, and get 01-03 Acura Cl-s. It's just a bit newer, engine is a bit more efficient (mpg) etc. Sc looks outside and inside much better, it's unique, and it's RWD after all. Anyway, did any of you guys had Cl-s or driven one? Should I even bother? lol (btw I never had any acuras, only bmws and lexus)

I've never owned a FWD car and never will. I hate the feeling of being pulled. That said SC > CL.

I wouldn't bother. Performance is pretty decent, but nothing special, styling is eh... very uninspiring car overall. SC is a much better looking car too imo.

I'd say get both lol. I use my 03 cl-s for commuting that car is fun. It's super fast and responsive, very sporty suspension and you can't go wrong with Vtec. My SC is usually garaged but you'll miss it when you're in the CL and you see an SC on the road. I love both cars can't go wrong with either. I also own an integra, Acuras are really efficient and reliable imo.

If you get a CL-S, get the manual 03 6spd and you'll be fine, stay away from the 01-02 Autos.
