Looks pretty nifty. Should kick the Celica's ass. Has an 8k redline, CVT (continuous variable valve timing), only comes in manual tranny, and I forget what else it says (left the magazine upstairs).

Check your mail if you subscibe, because June 2001 Road and Track and Car and Driver both came today. Both have a TON of intersting articles it looks like (for once).

edit- oh yeah, available mid-July for around $24-25k.

Yeah they get a frickin' subwoofer.

Then again, they have to put up with the relatively UGLY exterior so I guess it's balanced out.

At least the RSX exterior has some style, compare to the BLAND CL

JRock

I dunno, my Aegean blue with the spoiler gets lots of looks of approval. Maybe when I do the suspension and get some new wheels and tires it'll be a REAL headturner though.

Maybe it's just coincidence that all the pics of the RSX have been bad angles or something because it's quite ugly, IMHO.

I read the review in Car and Driver...

Do you guys think that Acura would/could sell the spare tire sub for our car also?

I need a sub and I still don't know what to do.

I would love to hear it!

Doesn't CVT stand for Continuous Variable Transmission ? and if so, doesn't that contradict having a manual tranny?

I know it'll have i-vtec , but i thought the CVT was a) an auto/stepless clutch concept and b) only avail on the Honda EX as of now?

Maybe I got confused, but I swear it said "i-vtec" and "CVT (continuous variable valve timing)" in either R&T or C&D's little blurb on it.

I thought CVT meant continuously variable transmission too.

CVT most definitely means Continously Variable Transmission -- it's called "Multitronic" by Audi, and CVT by Honda. Audi claims that it will perform identically (in terms of time (0/60 and 1/4)) w/ a pro at the helm of a manual Audi -- it's debuting in the 2002 Audi A4 3.0 --

i-VTEC is the terminology for the valve-timing -- CVT would contradict this it seems.

Sounds like someone is jealous just cause the little sibling is getting some of the same equipment as the big brother.
