Default Need some opinions from RSX owners

I was all for buying an S2000 in about a year or so but I don't really think it is practical for me to buy. I need something with a back seat and don't have the money to buy one as a "toy" as some people say. So here is my question, is the RSX a good balance of performance and luxury or should I look to something like the new G35 when it comes out? With the Sport package for the G35, it comes with LSD tranny, leather, 18s, lowered and some other little things for still under 30k. Tell me your thoughts, Thanks

everything that I have read says that the coupe will have 275hp. Just to clarify I am talking about the future coupe not the current sedan

the G45 shares the same platform and has a back seat(the reason I am not getting a S2000) I don't like the looks of the Z. I know they look similar but I like the looks of the G35 much better.

Well bro, I think you have just answered your own question.. Get the G35 bro. Get something you like and would like to drive. Dont get something that someone else's likes and end up hating it down the road. Good luck bro.

Damn steve, you cream your pants alot dont you.. hehe.. Rear wheel drive is very nice. And LSD, man why cant the type S get that.. Now I got to buy it from a shop in cali.Oh well it will be so worth it.

I got a price of 15oo.oo from pit crew in LA. But I heard someone on H-T got a used JDM LSD for 5oo.oo dollars. So I'm going to keep looking around and see what I find. If anyone comes across one, pm me. Thanks guys.

no..no ...big mistake, i would never say i want a integra/rsx to be rear wheel drive, a ITR is what it is , the best handling FWD ever...its what makes it what it is...not to mention the guys at honda with the use of the chassis , and lsd can make it handle nearly like it has a rear differential....but if it was rear wheel drive, it would be a different car....maybe not even better if it was....i'm glad my ITR is FWD...

Not that bad for price. With leather, LSD, 18's, power seats, lowered, and some other options it is still under 30k so I read in a mag, we will see what the markup is when they are released
