i dunno where this dude gets off ripping on the rsx like this because the type r is a totally different car. its just stupid.

"Ultimately, this isn’t so much about what the RSX was (a luxury coupe for 28-year old marketing managers), but about what it wasn’t (a car better than the one it replaced)."

dude seriously? so stupid



Well I didn't look at the link but I can understand that statement to a degree. I hope this doesn't hurt anybody's feelings but I never cared for the RSX, at least not until the MMC in 2005 (the 2005-2006 RSX Type-S was VERY good). With the RSX, They seemed to have figured out a way to screw up everything that was good about the DC2. THe MMC proved that at its core, it's a good car, but somewhere along the way between the Japanese team and the team responsible for making it an Acura, they just blew it. The chassis was a real mess, the engine didn't sound or even feel like a proper Honda engine (thank god they figured out how to properly tune a K20 with the Type R, the MMC, and the Civic Si), and frankly I thought the styling was too "econobox" looking.
