No Automatic for the Type-S RSX????

I went to acuras site and there isnt a RSX automatic for the Type-S, only reason i care is because a friend of mine was thinking of the Type-S version and she cant drive a 6-speed. she wants the power and doesnt want the base model. So Does anyone know if they will come out wish a auto for the Type-s RSX??

The Prelude SH is manual only. The S2000 is manual only. The RSX-S is manual only. If she wants the performance, she'd better learn to drive stick. Personally, I think ALL 4 cylinder cars should be manual only. Autos totally kill the high reving 4 clyinder experience.

So far, all DOHC Vtecs for Honda have been manual only......but, in Honda's mind, if you buy the racy version...you want the stick. Besides...tell her to get a Celica GT-S if she wants the power with an auto.

And your point is? =) Did you *know* her before she was engaged? Yea like others have posted DOHC Hondas are manual.. maybe if there is enough demand they'll stick an auto in the RSX-S.. yea if she wants an auto the Celica is not a bad choice

Tell her she can get a SWEET deal on my AUTOMATIC CL-S when the 6-speed comes out.

It has more power, more luxury, NAV system and 10 plus coats of Zaino for about the same price as a new RSX Type-S.

If she wants silver, there's one in California that will be available about a second after Shawn's.

LOL.....ever the salesman, Shawn! Good one.

My personal opinion...why buy a performance based car and ruin it with an auto? Heresey I say!
