RSX means ??
 
Do any of you RSX drivers know what the RSX abreviation stands for ?

NeoMagus 03-13-2003 12:42 PM

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.

CarbonFly 03-23-2003 11:13 AM

Isn't it called the Honda Integra in Japan?

NeoMagus said that up top heh

CarbonFly 03-23-2003 11:47 AM

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

NitehawkVTEC 03-23-2003 04:53 PM

There is no "Acura" in japan, everything is just Honda.

CarbonFly 03-23-2003 06:28 PM

COUPE 03-28-2003 10:03 AM

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.

ask yourself this question...is the RSX a rally car? :hithead:

CivicBR900EX 04-15-2003 10:07 AM

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

genx_7 04-18-2003 10:26 PM

RS could also mean racing sport

CivicBR900EX 04-20-2003 10:37 AM

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.

R3DL1N3 05-17-2003 12:21 PM

then whats EX, LX, HX, DX, Si, and SiR stand for?

sadboy916 05-19-2003 12:29 AM

when the nsx was a concept it was called "project x" so i think that where it came from.

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

Actually WRC means World Rally Championship for the WRC Imprezza.

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...

DathAnEteRnaLbBLuE 08-28-2003 10:18 PM

its racing and sport crossover(meaning its a sports/race car image)
and there is an acura in japan, but only one i think its in okanowa just double check but i know they have 1

Si = Sport Inspired
SiR = Sport Inspired Racing

as for the others, I have no clue

Green Civic 09-09-2003 12:42 PM

Just like GT-R. Everything has a meaning on a car.

EX - exutive (sp)
LX- Luxiry (sp)
HX- hybid
DX- base model (not sure of name)

civicvtec1ps 09-12-2003 08:57 PM

:hgrin: 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.
