Because you'd really have to be (somewhat) dumb to buy one instead of the cheaper and superior Civic Si (and I really hate to say that). Before this gets confusing, I'm comparing the DC5 RSX/Integra to the current 8th gen Civic Si.

Except the RSX/Integra has been discontinued. Yes, first we in the US got a rename, then the car was dropped altogether.

 

for some dumb reason they wanted to change the name and look. i hope one day they go back to making them again.

That's what I was thinking. I sure hope not.

 

I've heard that a two door TSX might be coming out, it would kind of replace the integra.

 

2door tsx woul kill anything in the US market, speacially if it had the RDX engine in it - the 4 cycl. turbo...... awwww imagine a TSX Type R...... id buy one!

 

OMG! that is hot.

 

DAM that car looks hot!! whats the msrp gonna be?

 

poor sales on the integra is the worst excuse i bet its because people love stealing them. the tsx type r would b great but if im to upgrade from my dc2 ill go to the dc5 first

 

id have to skip the DC gen alltogether..lol... id kept my 98 DC .....

What brings you to the conclusion that the civic is superior. Ride quality/interior design/navi/fancy headlights? I bet the dc5 goes around a track faster.

The switch to a strut suspension design on the DC5 left much to be desired. The DC5s that were raced were heavily modified beyond simple suspension bolt-ons. Much of the suspension inadequacies were addressed with the new Civic Si.

It really seems like they keep making cars worse. Like the new civic type R for example. Give me a DC2 anyday.

The stut suspension is cheaper and safer in a crash. It is a Honda afterall. I personally do not have much respect for BMW because of the strut suspensions.
