Default RSX is a boat

Does anyone think the RSX looks like a boat? In the integra forum this guy said he had trouble with his gsr so he took it to the dealer to have the problem fix, he then got a rsx-s loaner car, after driving it he said he hated it and that it looks like a boat. I only hate the exterior, it does look like a boat. what are your guys opinion?

I feel the flames coming

At first, I hated the new styling of the Integra, but now, after being around them for awhile and driving it, I actually love the new style. I think it grows on you after awhile.

I actually always loved DC-5 style over DC-2... I wasn't into integras at all before i saw DC-5 at LA auto show, and read up on it in magazines..

I really like the way the front bumper comes to a point in the middle...

I like the RSX design both inside and out. I don't why there so many jealous haters.

I don't know about it being a boat but, It is certainly better than the old integra styling, The new look of the car is one of the main reasons I bought it.

The only thing I like is the look of the interior. I don't like the temp ***** and stuff cause they seem really cheap when I was playing around with them.

Seats are the best part of the RSX, I love them! It isn't that I don't "like" the RSX-S, I just wish it was still an Integra.

I like the RSX. I've driven it, and it's a good car. Throw some better tires on there, maybe some suspension and bolt ons, and boom, You've got a very real competitor for a DC2R, even a modded one (within reason, of course).

personally i think that the stock RSX looks kinda funky lookin esp length wise of the car.... it appears to be very cramped looking. Ive seen lowered RSX's I guess thats where it makes up for it.. pretty sweet.

also on the topic of celicas.. they also look sorta weird stock but when these are lowered they look mean.. especially with the TRD kit

I think the RSX seat too high. I don't understand why Honda keeps making their cars higher and higher...???I think the RSX should come from factory about 2" lower and then it would look a lot nicer!

i'll agree with you there...i dropped my RSX about 2 inches or so and it looks a helluva lot better...the wheels tuck very nicely with these huge wheel wells...i own both cars and i actually like the styling of both...the reason a lot of people are giving the RSX so much attention is because they got tired of seeing the same style of the integra that was around for 8 years...i'm a honda lover, so these haters who talk **** about the RSX, be it jealousy or whatever need to just hurry up and get used to it cause its not going any where...i give both cars

I love the new celica's, drop it 2" & it look really good. As for the rsx & integra, niether look as good as the celica, but I would probably say that the integra with jdm front looks a bit better.
