RSX Type S??
It looks like it's wearing the same (?) Type S wheels as CL-S and TL-S?

What is up with the color, PINK!!??

My dealer told me that it (the RSX) would be released with a regular version, and typeS version at the same time, with a 240hp typeR version available a year later. Just what he told me!

Comptech TL (headers, exhaust, air filter, springs, & swaybars)

ITs really red but the lighting makes the car look feminine.

Never seen the car in person, but I think it's pretty ugly. The steering wheel and shifter looks pretty good, but other than those... I don't like it.

Just like the WRX, great performance, but darn ugly car. The WRX is a bit overpriced as well, at least in Canada that is. Base price is already a bit more than the TL out the door with no options yet!

The RSX should be cheaper, yet at the same time it's a FWD and based on Civic platfrom. Anyways, I will still check it out when it arrive the showroom.

BTW I think the TL is cheaper in Canada? so that's why the WRX cost as much as the TL...

I find it refreshing. It may not be good for aftermarket stereo but I find the design quite functional. It's not great but it's good for this car.

Well, it's not my cup of tea.......

It sure look sporty in a way, but I think the whole thing is still looks kinda "cheap"

That's why I didn't buy the Type-R and got myself a TL. Even thought I love to go to the track...

WOW Rice right from the factory. Do you think it will have a purple neon undercarriage option? Needs more stickers though.
