I remember there being there some talk about these goin for nearly 30K on the fourm. I dont know where you live but I just stoped by the dealer here like 15 min ago and the rsx-s was stickered at 23K. If one of you wants one for 30K ill gladely buy it here and drive it to you where ever you are
O and cl-s was 30K

 

Hahaha... that'd be a joke paying that much for an RSX! I saw my second one in the flesh today on the way home. It was a Nighthawk Black one. It was pretty sweet. The guy thought he was the shit but I put him back in his place. Hahaha :P Anyway, it's cute, but kinda cheap lookin in my opinion anyway.

 

I will caveat what I'm about to say by admitting that when the last bodystyle Integra came out I thought it was butt-ugly (and then I bought one), but...

I'm pretty disappointed in the RSX. I think it will make the ricey-modders in SoCal happy, but that's about it. It looks like a Mazda MX-3, which is not what Acura is all about. I definitely feel there is a place for an entry-level sports car in the Acura lineup, but after the new TL and CL, I think they blew it with the RSX. Now I'm scared to see what the new RL and NSX will look like...

 

I really like the interior of the car but the exterior kinda looks out of place. I don't care for those accent loops in the headlights and tail lamps that curve down into the bumpers. looks almost chrysler 300m-esque. the front end from head on looks almost like a civic. don't get me wrong, the cars performance numbers and interior seem pretty impressive (for my tastes) but the exterior looks like it's having an identity crisis of some sort. ah well... that's my thoughts on that.

 

the rsx is kinda ugly but it has great potential there are some kits that transform that car into somethin sweet. just liek my cl. i defintely didnt buy it cuz i loved the way it looked stock. i knew with a few mods i would love it. (wing, clearouts, fogs, frnt lip, tints, rims etc..) and the rsx-s should be faster then a 3.0 cl. hits 60 in 6.2 secs i think and prob does the 1/4 in low 14s. the ITR is faster then a stock 3.0 and im pretty sure the RSX-s is slighty faster then the ITR. all i know is i need a h22 cuz those damn cars are gonna be all over the road soon and im going to get smoked badly granted the ppl can drive them.

i think its meant to compete directly with the Celica GT-S.
Both are trendy, flashy fun types of car.

 

The Integra/RSX gets fun once the road starts to get twisty. The ITR was one of the best road racing cars ever built, and definitely the best FWD road racing car ever built. Can't wait for the new ITR/RSXR.

If all we wanted to do was go fast in a straight line, we would be driving Camaros.

 

I did not care for the looks of the RSX initially. Its appearance has gradually grown on me however.

I test drove one when they first came out, and at the time I thought "Its a great car, but I couldn't buy it because of the styling."

Now I want one badly! By the time the RSX Type R comes to the States, I should be able to afford one. The only thing I'm worried about is the short supply. If I can't find a Type R, I could certainly "settle" for a Type S

 

Agree. The last gen integra's with a good set of 225 tires are easily one of the best handling FWD cars ever made......
