"There will be no 2007 RSX. Acura is dropping its entry sport coupe from the market this year, it says, as part of a plan to move the brand up market with BMW as its target. While the RSX Type-S resonated with young enthusiasts for its high-revving 200-horse four, the cheaper 2006 Hond Civic SI matches the performance. Another possible reason for the drop is there appears no replacement for the Civic-based hatchback coupe, sold in Japan as the Honda Integra. Lowest-price Acura next year will be the $28,000 TSX sedan; rumor is Acura may introduce a coupe version of the TSX when its updated in 2008." (Motor Trend, July 2006 VOL. 5 NO. 7 p.27)

Just curious as to what everyone thinks in regard to Acura's new company strategy? Whose for them eliminating the RSX or against it and why.

 

I guess we should get used to getting screwed here in the states when it comes to Japanese cars

 

well i would not say im aganist it or not.. but then it is a good idea for acura to elimate the rsx even tho it is a very nice car and all... but then right now even the honda civic SI is performing almost the same as the rsx or even better... civic now has a navi. optional to offer and if it is optional to have leather interior.. im pretty sure the rsx value will drop and more ppl would rather get a SI since the price is lower then an rsx.. acura is suppose to have more luxcery or luxcery/sport cars just like other company such as lexus and infinite and leave all the import modding cars to nissan and toyota , but in this case honda ..

 

Well, I'm turning 16 and was trying to get a Type-S for my first car. My insurance company quoted me (under my parents plan, mind you) 4 grand a year. It's a car tuned more towards younger people, but many can't afford it. It's a dissappointment to see it go, but it's definitely in the best interest of the company.

 

OLD NEWS
