The RSX is extinct for 2007.

The rsx was discontinued man.

They killed it b/c the civic si was basically the same thing, acura didn't need it in the lineup.

 

[lilo shark]

plus the si is faster and more people like it.

What are car companies thinking nowadays? Discontinuing cars that have great racing heritage for slow, ugly, box cars

 

[RudyH]

The new concept should be released this season of auto shows.

Rumour is for 2008, the 2.3L turbo out of the RDX tuned more for a light weight car then a SUV. Rumour is close to 260-280hp range. I think this is because everyone needs a turbo and a lot of horsepower in their cars.

i would love a 2.3l Turbo in a Type-S
i was lookin at the Type-S's before i got my Tibby, but i couldnt afford one with low enuff miles, so i got my Tibby and i love it

Never going to happen.

werd acura will do better as a luxury brand rather then having a sport compact in its midst it was really a matter of time.

 

[RudyH]

Never going to happen.

Based on your uncles, friends, sisters, sales managers, president of Hondas words?

There is plenty of room to grow the coupe now that the NSX is getting an AWD V10 in 2009.
For some reason I don't think Honda is as stupid as Hyundai, and just sit on a crappy product while others take off.

 

[GTea]

Based on the original press release when the RSX discontinuation was announced. Acura is moving forward with its luxury division, the TSX was designed to fill the RSX's void, offering a lower end model available to customers in that budget range.

 

[peachferrari]

The RSX was basically only there to attract entry-level buyers to the Acura brand. I've heard that they plan to introduce some kind of TSX coupe, but who knows if that will happen or not.

In the US: Trunk > Hatchback

 

[NovaResource]

In the US: Trunk > Hatchback

Explain then:
GTI
Rabbit
New Beetle
350Z
Audi TT
MINI Cooper
Eclipse
tC

All sell very well in the US. Again, that used to be the case but no so much any more.

 

[qbytiburon]

o i liked the rsx surprised its going. i liked the rsx more then new si's... o well.

 

[Diode Dynamics]

The rsx was discontinued man.

News flash! Doh! :3_frusty:

 

[Yablargo]

From a performance standpoint, the tc would be 100 times better if it didnt have the roof + the hatch. It would weigh more like a 03 lx civic than a loaded tiburon

Trunk = stiffer chassis

Explain then:
GTI
Rabbit
New Beetle
350Z
Audi TT
MINI Cooper
Eclipse
tC

All sell very well in the US. Again, that used to be the case but no so much any more.
