Thats an odd comment, the rsx type S is just a suped up civic. In europe its marketed as the civic type R. Not all of them are like that, there are a few though.

I am not impressed with the front. The rear looks nice though. My 7thgen will stay with me for a long time, and probably be my last Civic. I am really starting to admire Nissan's lineup.

EP3-R and DC5-S are not that different. The chassis is almost identical.
There are many myths associated to the DC-5, for one there there is mention of the R version being double welded but there is no actual evidence of this.

Dude its all marketing. Same car diff market.

Actually to tell you the truth there aint much diff between EM2, EP3, DC5.

Yeah, I guess...they eliminated a lot of area in the back, I'm guessing we'll lose trunk too no?

This car only needs a bad *** paintjob and it's finished.

I dunno, thats the SI trim. The LX/EX in theory should have a larger trunk space. Power windows and locks come standard in the new vic right, along with ABS?

no it's not the same car.

what we call the rsx is called the INTEGRA everywhere else.

a civic in the US is a civic in japan and europe. rsx = integra everywhere else.

I'm waiting for Nissan to throw their $0.02 into the ring too, see what they come up with. If, like someone suggested above its a 250hp FI application, it'll be the SR20 allll over again and rock some major socks.
The car is not a concept, it will release towards the end of this year. Test are being done out here in California, the spy pics will pop up soon enough. They will be using the same 2.3L, but it will be de-tuned and it will be FWD. BTW, they will be using the 5 door and not the 4 door.
