Default saw two 2005 Acura RSX on the streets of Torrance, Ca.

Hey guys, just letting you know that I saw 2 "2005" RSX's being road tested here in Torrance, Ca. (on Normandie St.)
One was white and the other was a metallic orange color. The taillights are full ruby red(no amber anymore) and the rear bumper have lower vents just like the 98-01 Integras. I didnt have a chance to see the front though. Cant wait to see these in the dealerships soon

Given it'll be the EP3's last year (2k5), I doubt there will be any changes.

Too bad Midori Green is hot as ****...

I agree that Euro Yellow is kinda wack.

Just a little FYI on the RSX colors that my manager just passed out today. The new color for the 05 RSX is called Blaze Orange, available only on the Type-S. The other new colors are Magnesium, Vivid Blue, and Jade Green. They got rid of Desert Silver, Arctic Blue, Eternal Blue and Premium White Pearl.
