hi bro,
I upgraded from CL7A to CU2 about 6 months ago.
Biggest difference is size. CU2 is bulkier and has more 'presence'. It's like a bigger brother. Fuel consumption is similar.
I like the drive of CL7 better though. Also prefer the steptronic at the gear knob rather than the paddle shift at the steering wheel.
CU2 also seems to have more squeaks.

Hmmmm ....... having second thoughts .... haven't really seen much of the CU model on SG roads .....
In half a mind now to keep my CL7; seems like it is destined to be a CLASSIC
Drove several cars when I was away. None match the drive of the CL7

CU2 is a 2.4... I dont think anybody is importing the CU1,3 or 4 models in.
