alright guys well i had to get your attention, now i know on this board you guys have been saying the the rsx type-r will be released around jan 2003 but i went to the dealership and was talking to the dealer and he said it would come out around jan of 2004 this conversation came up because i own a 99 GS and the lease is due in july so he was asking me if i would be interested in rsx so is he just feeding me a story to get another car because i told him i wanted a type r

 

Everythign is a rumor right now. Nothing definite other than that it is on the way. I have heard one rumor say 2003, countless ones saying 2004. My bet is 2004.

 

Its gonna be 2004 before we see the RSX-R on our shores.

 

My guess is we'll see the RSX-R on the road around October of 2003 as a 2004 model. That's what sources from Honda say.

 

Well, it's better than waiting until 2006!

 

hell yeah

 

Do they even have them out in Japan yet?

 

Ofcourse they do...

 

at least the good thing that we will see the RSX-R !

 

True, very true.

 

Ok so the current type-s costs about 25K, if the type-r costs a few thousand more, why not just get an evo vii? and the evo vii will be here jan 2003..

Mitsubishi and Reliable. Two words that don't go together. Don't get me wrong, the Evo will probably be an awesome car when it arrives on our shores, but anyone whose ever owned any performance Mitsu will tell you these cars have lots of reliability issues. So if you value not getting your car serviced as often as you get your haircut, I'd stay with the Scoobie WRX Sti or go to the DC5 R.

 

you might say that for DSMs, but not for scoobies. They are VERY reliable cars. I'm sorry, but for $25K-30K I wouldn't even get a RSX/GTS/or RSX-R. The EVO and WRX (and WRX STi at $30K+) is such a better value (ie performance per dollar).
