☆ENGLISH ONLY☆コミュのNo more Acura RSX...

Sad news, indeed.

I've had two Integras in the past. The RSX may not have catered to the mass market, but it's sure got an awesome VTEC engine and excellent handling.

I guess times have changed. The end of an era, for sure.

Well if they do go with the TSX coupe all it really will be is a Euro-R Coupe which is pretty close to an Integra... Still the new SI is pretty damn good and i'd like to take one over the RSX, I guess its up to Honda now to decide weather or not to make a replacement for the RSX/Integra however I see it's demise just like what happened with the Prelude.

The TSX Coupe would be a bit too big for me. One of the great things about the Integra/RSX is its compact body. Another is its reasonable pricing. The '92 Integra GS-R cost less than $19,000 in 1992...

Very true, however, since Acura wants to go for the "luxury" feel I think it was a smart move by Acura, but not a good one to discontinue it. In fact I think they should have moved to carry the Honda name since Hondas are all about practicality. Still they would need to bump up the horsepower since the new SI stronger than it. Infact there are alot more smaller cars getting their engines all beefed up. Example, the Protege. Went to the 2.0l 5 then the 2.0l-t Mazdaspeed then to the 2.3l 3/atenza and now the 2.3l-t Mazdaspeed 3 with over 250hp. I could go more into depth with another model such as the Neon, but save it for later. Maybe honda is concentrating their efferots on the civic to compete in this market.

Point of clarification, Hondas in America are seen as a practical car, and yes I know that there is no Acura in Japan, and yes I do know that Acura and Honda are the same company.... before people jump on me for that....

アンソニー,

You must have read my mind! I was going to mention Honda's different marketing tactics between the two countries. :) I knew you knew that Honda and Acura were both really Honda, though. ;)

I personally think the Integra/RSX fits well as an entry Acura - for those who want a performance compact car yet feel that "Honda" is too "practical" for them. I just guess that the segment of the market who feels that way has decreased to the point that it's not feasible to offer the RSX anymore. The prices of the compact cars are increasing, too, which may have made Honda decide to shift their focus to the Civic.

That's sad news but it's ok; I still love my 2005 Acura RSX Type-S. I want to get an M3 or an Infiniti G35 next, but I'd definitely keep the RSX even if I did. I love the handling and it's a quick, light car with great gas mileage (I get 32 MPG highway with cruise over long distances... can't beat that!!) It's always a joy to drive. Chicks dig it, too. :)

>> Chicks dig it, too. :)

That's a good point. :)

You get 32 MPG? That's a great gas mileage. I don't quite remember what it was like with my old Integra, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't that good.

[8] mixiユーザー 05月25日 13:14

Yes, on average it's about 30-32 MPG highway from what I've seen. City isn't that great, more along the lines of 21-24 MPG. Still not as bad as the G35, and in that regard, I'm so glad I got the RSX because I would be paying twice as much for gas with that car since it gets used up faster in the G35 than in the RSX.

Every girl I've taken in my car has said "I really like your car!" That *can't* be a coincidence. ;)
