Minor Model Change. In the past it's been everything from slight body changes, to new engine availability. I'm sorta hoping that the Type R will come to the states so my wife will let me get a second RSX

A guy on another board said he's seen the brochure for the 2005 Si and it didn't have any new changes - I know you were talking RSX, but maybe that means there's an RSX brochure floating around somewhere as well.

So far here's what I know, and this info has been confirmed:

More HP (Type S)
New colours (I don't have all of them, but Orange will be available on the Type S)
Retuned suspension.
Revised front and rear ends. Possibly new wheels.

My dealer showed me the order sheets for the 2005 cars. There might have been something about a spoiler on the Type S, but don't quote me on that one. The other info is solid though.

Here you go http://www.vtec.net/news/news-...36040

As far as the spoiler goes, the only info is that it's a "factory installed spoiler" on the Type S. The Type S will also have larger wheels and tires (probably 17"), the rest will have new wheels.

In Canada the '05 RSX will be out late August. As for the US, I'd assume a little earlier than that, but I don't know for sure.

Mugen84: You can believe what you want to, I've seen the official Acura releases, I just thought I'd pass it on.

As for an exact HP upgrade, I don't know. They didn't give a number. 10 is likely, 20 would be great.

Professor Gascan: if there's an hp upgrade, and about a couple months for development if it hasnt been chosen yet, is it really possible for honda to do it in 2 months and produce thousands of cars after they choose how much, im sure if there was an increase in hp they state it in your "official Acura releases" by now.

i've talked to a couple of my friends that work at the dealer, they all say if at most, there will be minor body changes, full red out tails. just like how the integs were. other then that, they have no word on hp increase. if they were to increase the hp they would bring over the itr, but they dont expect that for a while, which involves zero research on honda's part, which saves money, because they dont have to upgrade the type-s engine, the itr's are already 200+. scan a copy of those "official Acura papers" otherwise don't start rumors thats been talked about for months.
