I don't like the way the base rsx's look, but I really like the way they are looking after these kits are coming out. This one looks really nice, but I could do with out the wing, or maybe something a little more timid. But otherwise
damn that looks nice. but thats what i said when i first saw tov pictures of the rsx before it was released. saw the car at the dealer, i was like "oh cool". saw it next to a lowered integ and that thing turned into an SUV
I love that dashboard!! The suede looks great- like a Ferrari factory race car! All round, looks great. Sorry Honda (oops, I mean Acura) doesn't sell the car that way!
Does anybody know anything about what's under the hood?
I only say that because I'm curious if the performance can back up the aggressive styling. It seems to me that a lot of people on this board consider a car to be "ricey" when it looks the part but doesn't actually perform. And it seems like there's a steadily growing number of cars out there whose styling suggests more performance than they can deliver (PT Cruiser, Celica GT-S with the "Action Package," upcoming Toyota Matrix, Mazda MP3--although I still think that one's incredibly good looking). In other words, if a car looks like it should be able to beat up on a Roush Stage 3 Mustang, but in reality, automatic-equipped non-GT convertibles are still walking all over it, maybe it's time to tone down the styling a little bit.
So, if this RSX concept has, say, 250 hp and ~200 lb-ft of torque, a 6-speed, and AWD, then I say

But if under the hood it's still a stock Type S, and all the extra body parts and the massive wheels add a couple hundred pounds to it, then I say

Just my 2 cents.
