The CL Series (Contemporary Luxury) is Acura’s first car designed and built in the US, and the innovative styling and thoughtful convenience features really shine through. We’ve had this stylish 2-door coupe for a few months now and with the introduction of the 3.0 CL, the line-up is complete. The 2.2 CL uses a 2.2 Liter 4 cylinder, 16-valve all aluminum engine with VTEC (Variable valve Timing and Electronic lift Control). This motor produces 145 horsepower and lots of torque and is available with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.

The 3.0 CL has an all new all aluminum V-6 with 24 valves and VTEC. This marks the first use of Acura’s race-proven VTEC technology in a mass produced V-6. With an abundant torque curve and a soul stirring 200 horsepower, this car cruises quietly and effortlessly through all driving conditions. Both cars have a sophisticated double wishbone suspension system for a better ride and more responsive handling. The advanced safety features include: dual air-bags, side impact door beams, front and rear crumple zones, and anti-lock brakes.

On the inside, both cars have a long list of standard features: an AM/FM CD, cruise control, automatic air conditioning, power drivers seat , moon roof and a keyless entry / security system. This system even uses the remote control to lock and unlock the doors as well as the trunk!

I would encourage everyone to come in and see our new CL’s. They are simply beautiful! Call ahead and I’ll meet you! These two are winners

Or maybe you’re a Big Picture client, where I represented Mitsubishi big screen TV’s, Toshiba TV’s, JBL speakers and many other products. I was able to help many of you with your Home Theater purchases.

The decision to leave consumer electronics did not come easily, but the choice of automobile dealers was obvious! In 1994 my wife and I bought an Acura Integra GS-R from Pflueger and really enjoyed the experience. I’ve always felt if you don’t like a product enough to own it, you have no business selling it. This has been true wherever I’ve worked.

Once again, thank you for your support, have a safe Holiday Season, and I hope to see you in the future!

With a McPherson strut, a control arm is used to support the suspension at the bottom and a spring-over-shock as the suspensions upper mounting point. The advantage to this type of suspension is the ease and low cost of manufacture. The problem here is the "shock absorber" not only damps the spring action, but must also act as the steering pivot and must absorb acceleration and braking forces as well. Perhaps more important, is the loss of tire contact with the road as the wheel moves in a big arc in response to road irregularities. 

Acura’s racing inspired suspension uses "wishbones" or "A" shaped control arms to support the suspension at both the top and the bottom. (see diagram) This sophisticated design frees the shock absorber to perform its primary duty of damping spring action without having to absorb driving forces. This also means that each tires contact patch is consistent, providing more traction for accelerating, turning and braking.
