DEATH OF THE DC..... rsx done for good?

ive been hearing rumors all over the internet.. that the rsx is being wacked by acuras big brother honda. theyve speculated that with the outcoming of the civic si in 06 that the rsx isnt going to do well at all and people are saying honda doesnt expect rsx to do well so they are going to stop production.
this seems believable to me, i think the only way to keep the rsx alive is bring the rsx type r over and dump the base model only selling the type s and type r.

That just makes my RSX more rare... And of course less on the streets... They will probably bring back the 2 door CL... Who knows?!

I'll believe it when I see it. IMO, unless they come up with a replacement, I don't think its a good move since the RSX is one of Acura's top selling models.

so far from the truth.

i dont see any logic in this at all (especieally when it comes to "looks"- new rsx is ugly, celicas were always ugly. new ones look bat-like)

not true at all. actually, the K20 engine in the RSX-S is extremely detuned from the factory. there is a lot of power to be unlocked in n/a form.

A TSX coupe would be interesting. It would be larger than the RSX and yet still slightly smaller than the Accord coupe. It would also make a lot of sense if they were to do that because of the fact that the RSX is practically the only coupe in that market at that price and size. A lot more people want larger vehicles.

mmm, I believe it is confirmed that RSX will stop production at 06...

WE don't know the reason why though, does Honda and Acura share the same finalcial account?

^^ Technically, that is backwards. Like a square is a rectangle but a rectangle isn't a square. Anyway, Acura is Honda should be correct.

did you read someplace believable (if so can i c link) that it ends in 06 or just more specualtion.

and honda makes acura so therefore anything financial wise of acura is a portion of hondas financial stuff. oh and there is only acura in a few parts of world... i believe only north america
