Rep Power: 303 I'm soooo on the fence between the 05-06 RSX-S and the new SI. I like both body styles, but don't care for the SI's weird dash. The plus for the RSX for me is that it is a stealth hatchback that looks like a coupe. The plus for the SI is the price tag.
Oh man......

I would definately pick the new rsx over new si. ofcourse my dream car would be 2000 si but that prolly won't ever happen. New si looks nice, but imo it doesn't have the class that other hondas do. It kinda looks sporty, but there are weird things about it like the dash, rims, and spoiler. It just doesn't have that unique look I guess. idk.

WTF is wrong with honda and them not adding an LSD option for this car. Theyb are really slacking.
LOL in the perfect world they would figure out they are on a sinking ship and would start to produce turbo RWD coupes that cost under 25K... but no. They could at least put a limited slip on their flag ship sport compact.

The misinformation on this thread is crazy. Even with the ITR final drive, the 05/06 type-s gets 23/31 miles per gallon.
Yes, I would agree that not having an LSD option standard is bad, but where the hell did you get turbo rwd coupe from? so they should develop entirely new chassis, a reliable turbocharger, a new engine for the turbocharger just for a car? that wouldn't be my perfect world, i'm not a huge turbo fan.

My friend has a 05 Type S and she still gets 25mpg with combination highway and city driving. I doubt the rsx will ever get turbo. The tsx or the rdx will probably be the cars that get turbo first if honda decides to go the FI route.
