New Integra pace car

Just got finished watching the Indy car race from Japan and noticed the new Integra was the pace car.Makes sense since Honda owns the track that the race was run on.Looked good in pace car form in blue and white colors,with prominent Acura name and logo on the hood.

Are you sure? Acura name in Japan? I highly doubt it because Acura is only a North American name. The rest of the world it's just plain old Honda. Honda NSX, Honda RSX (Integra), etc....

Positive Davo.I thought the same thing but the logo was huge and Acura was clearly spelled out.They probably realized that their biggest audience would be in the United States and might as well promote the new car.

Yup, I also saw the Acura name while watching the race, I thought it was kinda weird how honda hasnt even won on their own track lately(according to the commentators).

I like the RSX the more I see it. I wasn't a big fan of the Integra when the last body style came out either. It took me a while till it grew on me.

The RS-X was pacing the CART race on Saturday. Had to look twice to be sure. But not suprising considering Honda's prominence inn the CART series of late.

That shit is pimp!

Makes the RSX look real nice, whats with the headlights... they look different then normal. Much better... like they were painted blue inside.
