Nah even a huge Honda Fan like me could careless.. I never liked the way they looked. I always hated Acura for changing the name from thee beloved Integra..RSX just doesn't have the same appeal..

LONG LIVE VTEC

I read a couple months ago that they plan to replace the RSX with a higher class more luxurious vehicle. There is really no need for it anymore since they came out with the new Civic Si, it's basically the same car but wit a stock limited slip. Smart move on their part IMO to discontinue before sales plummeted...

They renamed it the RSX instead of the integra because in America names dont equal a luxury status i mean even Cadillac is doing away with names Deville is now DHS, the XLR, and the Seville is now just STS. Major Luxury marks Mercedes BMW and Audi. NO cars with names well Allroad but u get the point.

Its time for change anyways, its a 6-7 year old model. It isnt as luxurious as it should be, My dad owns a TL and an RSX and I've driven both. The TL is damn nice but the RSX is way too spartan and cheap feeling inside when its the same thing as the Si but doesnt feel any nicer. A TSX coupe would be nice, the TSX is one of my favorite cars and I'm interested in seeing what it looks like.

I highly doubt they'll actually go with a TSX coupe. They're going upscale and more mature... thus dropping the RSX. A coupe just doesn't fit their mature image. Though... to debate my own point... they did reciently release TL Type S pics......
