Default Which one to get???

I do realize this is an accord sight however my wife has given me the green light to buy a new car. I can't decide on the V6 coupe or the rsx type s. Right now the rsx is looking pretty good unless there is any reason that you guys know differently. I realize its my decision and I'm gonna keep my accord but the rsx is lighter and the engine is rated about the same. opinions would be appreciated. ???? ???

If you're going to keep your accord, I say go for the RSX. You already have one family car.

Yeah either way im gonna be subject to the possibilities of theft. I am thinking from the tuning standpoint the accord will be more expensive, however the rsx parts are not as plentiful ( like new accord parts are laying around everywhere)

RSX Type S is very nice. It all depends on what you want. RSX has lots more performance products out and that will be out, than our accord. Manual/Automatic is another option. Accord V6 is only auto as we know. Same price, I say do the RSX S

RSX. But make sure it has a huge wing and wood trim.

but it can't be real wood trim. only the nicest RSX's have the plastic wood-grain-like trim.
