Post RSX Suxx!

I don't know why everybody is bragging about the new RSX. The body style is ugly. It looks like a breed between Hyundai and Civic. The interior is nice...for somebody who is 16 years old.
I guess Acura is making this car for high school kids, hoping when they grow up they'll buy themselves a GOOD car like TL-S
Anyway, I love Acura, but this is one of the worst body styles I've seen. Even the '89 Integra was a really modern car for that time.
I'm sorry you RSX lovers, but when I see one on the road I won't even say hello

p.s. Sorry for being so hostile, having a f*cked up day at work

I agree with you. Saw the RSX at the NY Auto Show and thought it was <u>ugly</u>. I like the current Integra much better, even though it is a little dated now. The back reminded me of a Geo Metro. The front is a 'little' better, but those headlights dip a bit too much into the bumper. The 6 spd transmission is the best thing this car has going for it.
Well, looks like this is what we'll be driving when we have to get a loaner car while the TL-S is in service.

I think that the the new RSX actually looks kind of cool. I read an article in the June issue of C&D and it got great reviews. This car will kick ass on any integra! The 6 speed manual does it for me.

I think he just expressed his thoughts about a new product from Acura....there is no reason to berate him about it.

I too agree to an extent about Acura making a mistake in bringing such cars under the Acura name. These cars should be sent to the Honda end of the business and a coupe/Sedan based on the excellent RWD Honda S2000 platform, should be bought in as an Acura, preferably with a small 2.5 to 2.8L V6 engine. No company can be thought of as prestigious (and Acura is the prestigious portion of Honda right ?!!) by having such FWD sub-compacts with 4-bangers in their line-up...

just my 2c

It really doesn't look too bad.
I think I like the front and the back.
I'm not too crazy about the side. It just looks like civic too much.
I think you are just jealous that it's getting a nice 6MT. I may get one as a beater this coming winter.
