Other than the RSX... no surprise the others are going away. We have an Insight at the shop i work at, it kinda reminds me of a crx... but i hate the rear wheel fender opening covers. I drove it acouple times taking it to get serviced... rides pretty nice. Yeah it gets 60mpg city and like 72 on the highway... least that's what we've actually seen. Book says about the same thing. I think Honda just wants to go with the Civic Hybrid instead. The best thing abou the Insight is take the back carpeting off straight behind the seats.. there is a spot to put speakers (i think it was an extra option) for those that do audio competitions. The mesh seats in it are super nice... i thought about ordering some. It's a pain to work on... i replaced a seat belt, even disconected the battery and still had the airbag and acouple other lights come on! I think with the right work... they could be really nice.

Rep Power: 290 The Insight is going to be replaced with an all-new hybrid in a few years--not a Fit or Civic variant.
And honestly... I'm not going to be too sad to see the RSX go--after all, just look at the SH-AWD and turbo engine in the new RDX, then imagine that technology in a performance-oriented TSX or a new RSX replacement based on the 8th gen Civic platform. Honda/Acura will come up with something awesome... after all, there's a horsepower "war" gearing up with all of the direct injection turbo 4-bangers in the works from the other carmakers.

honda/acura's killing all their performance vehicles. I wonder why... prelude and the rsx are gone. I hard to see where they are going with this.
They should be coming out with more powerful stuff like other auto manufacturers. Atleast beef up the TSX so it can compete with the IS350.
Also, it released a CSX thats the same freakin' thing as a civic, you're just paying 5,000 more for it because of an acura badge. They should have be more creative with the CSX IMO. And they should keep beef up the performance in their existing cars or not take away the sport compacts.

Rep Power: 0 sad thing is i remember hearing from a few sources that the s2000 is near the end to
i to have heard bout the 2 door tsx...i mean the tsx is doing well which suprises me they start at like 28k and come with 205hp which is expensive when u see that the tl has 250+hp and starts around 33k

but it dosen;t run. and its only $200 and i have a K20 block. So, do the math. 
eh dont really care all that much about the other cars except to say ITS ABOUT FREAKIN TIME! only car that i care about is the rsx. i care a lil about the gto but i would def cared alot more if it was the australian(sp?) version b.c that one is so much more better lookin that the gto.

Rep Power: 0 well tell me this guys. if acura is going to stop making RSX's. than why do most of you guys reccomend people to buy them?. i'm looking to getting rid of my civic for something else and most you guys are telling me to get the RSX....why?.
who would want to buy a car that "didn't ever sell much"?.
If I WERE TO get an RSX for trade of my civic, would i have to worry about parts not being easily to find or buy?
and what do you guys think they should NOW sell the RSX at, (PRICED)?.
cause there is one like70 miles away from me and it's a 2004 and it's got 10,000 miles on it and it's PERFECT!, and they're asking 20,900 dollars for it...is that way too much?
