The Acura CL, a midsize four-passenger coupe, was produced by Honda's luxury brand, Acura, over two generations from 1996 to 2003. This model was manufactured at Honda's East Liberty plant in Ohio, alongside the Honda Civic, and played a significant role as the first Acura model to be built in the United States.
The second generation of the Acura CL shared its platform with the TL and the Honda Accord, both of which were manufactured at Honda's plant in Marysville, Ohio. This marked a shift for Acura towards using alphanumeric or two-letter names, which started with the TL and 3.5RL models released in 1996.
