It stands for nothing. Acura changed all their cars over to letter names like all other luxury car companies in america.

The RSX is still called Integra in Japan.

He didn't state whether it was Acura Integra or Honda Integra. Just that it was Integra.

If you find out what NSX stands for......the RSX wouldn't be that difficult. Usually RS stands for Rally Sport, the X could mean....Rally Sport Extreme or Rally Sport Cross. X usually means Extreme or Cross. Such as GSX = Grand Sport Cross, WRX or WRC = World Rally Cross, GS-T = Grand Sport Turbo, GT-S = Grand Touring Sport.

It could be, front wheel drive can be rally car. Why do you think Camero, Eclipse and other cars have "RS" emblem and models? RS definiately stands for "Rally Sport" or sometimes I call it "Really Slow" since RS re always the lower grade models

possible, but not quiet. Cuz Type-R stands for type racing already. Type-S stands for type sport. well in Japan, it's Honda integra. RSX retires Integra here, and it's a lower grade of Acura compares to NSX. Most Acura cars got 3 or 2 letters, NSX, MDX, RSX, TSX, CL, TL and RL. I wonder if they just made something up there.

Now we're going into trim levels. Lots of car manufacturers have those. Don't feel like naming them though. I'm hungry...

That is NOT correct. If you pay the little extra cash over there, you can get the Toyota model with all the Lexus badging interior and exterior... Trust me, I used to live over there...

The same goes for Nissan/Infiniti.

But absolutely no Acura in Japan...

EX - exutive (sp)
LX- Luxiry (sp)
HX- hybid

Does seem accurate.

I think Honda must laugh at us making names up for their acroynoms (sp?). Rally Sport Extreme sounds the most logical to me, but I highly doubt it.

I was told my old (sob) Honda CBR 900RR bike stood for "Race Ready"... along with about 100 other things. All I know is that the the RSX Type R = sweet and that Honda/Acura North America is not quite that cool thou.
