Goodbye RSX?

http://autos.msn.com/advice/article....tentid=4023981

OK so I wouldn't actually buy the car unless I needed a commuter or something like that (but I would probably get a Honda Fit for a commuter)...but damn!

Can't really believe they're getting rid of the RSX. I thought it was one of Honda's staple cars.

It's not really something that I would want for the money but I swear I see more RSXs than I do Subies.

I still can't believe Honda stopped selling the CRX, and that was like... '91. It is amazing how short a lifespan some car models have though.

I heard that Acura wanted to go to a strictly more upscale market. So they are dropping the RSX. I guess honda will be pushing the SI as the new entry-level sportscar.

Maybe Acura will drop the RSX, but why couldn't Honda market and sell the car?

Bring back the Integra name and all?

Could work but the SI fills 90% of what the RSX used to be just not as luxurious and no Acura cachet.

I guess the Civic will be to the RSX what the Scion TC is to the Celica (yes, the Celica as well as the MR-2 are going to the grave).

While the CRX (pronounced "See Our Wrecks") was a great little car, it was a deathbox. I'd hate to be in one in an accident.

i also heard a while back that it was going to be phased out so acura could be "high class"
i would have thought that it would pick up the Honda emblem though.

RSX gone, like i care, praise the lord that the GTO/Holden manaro is finally being seen as a big mistake. i wish they would did it riht like ford did with the mustang. i mean really, the "GOAT" was a bi name back in the day, and for me as a kid browing up with my father building my '69 GTO.
