Since the RSX is near its final year of production (correct me if im wrong) any ideas of what acura plans on doing to fill that void in the car lineup?

maybe the Si. it's pretty close as far as performance of a RSX-S for about 5 grand less.

i meant acura its self, not honda as a parent company. The Si gets an insane premium b/c of the small supply, no in reality its more expensive

No direct replacement. There is a rumor of a TSX coupe in a few years.

....it would be nice if that photochopped TL coupes became a reality. Giving it the RL's powertrain, I am certain it would give the G35C a run for the money in sales and performance.

i think the whole point of them getting rid of the RSX was to seem more upmarket or more of a lux brand...

By pretty close I hope you mean equal to or better. Don't forget the LSD.

TSX Entry level Coupe, TL mid-class power coupe, RL luxoboat flagship coupe / new NSX would be a nice lineup to parallel what we already have...

The new Civic Si is a better, sportier car than the old RSX by almost every measure.

plus with the 5 grand left over in the price difference you can make it even quicker.

i actually think that looks nicer than the current TL. and why would you even compare the GTR to a photoshopped TL/CL? totally different in looks, price, the way it drives, everything.

you say its gross now, dont let us catch you saying that you want it when it hits the showrooms.

i think that photoshopped TL into CL looks decent.

That is correct. I remember reading it from an article.
