which cl are you looking at, I think the older one is ugly, but if you are talking about the newer one, I say yes.
FYI, The cl is pretty much the same as a v6 accord unless it is a type s, so you might save some money on the accord v6.
If you want to check on the information about the cars that you are looking for, check www.consumerguide.com, and www.edmunds.com. They have a lot of info, like year change, recall, and etc.
