Default Idle ?

I have a CL and a TL Type-s. I recently traded my ITR for a RSX base. I noticed that when I start up the RSX in the morning it idles around 1500 rpm. My ITR did the same thing. I know it does this because it is warming up. I'm curious to know why the CL and TL do not do this?

The ITR had alot of miles on it. It was just time for something new.

The ITR doesnt have a electronic throttle.
And I seriously doubt that its because it warms it up faster.

Its probably because the internals are not yet to temperature for the engine to idle and run smoothly
