Sport seats with leather-trimmed interior.The Type-S includes sportier accessories and performance including: Power windows, door locks and hatch lock.AM/FM tuner, in-dash CD player, 6 speakers audio system.The Acura RSX is available in 2 trims: the base model and Type-S. However, the rumored TSX coupe will be more luxurious, more expensive and more powerful than the RSX and will thus likely appeal to a slightly different market segment. It has also been speculated that a 2-door variant of the new Acura TSX will replace the RSX as their entry-level sports coupe. With the introduction of the similarly powerful and less expensive 2006 Honda Civic Si to the marketplace, Honda considers the new Si to be a more viable choice for performance minded young men, who are the most common buyers of RSXs. Reasons given behind the RSX model being dropped by Acura have been that it does not fit within the confines of Acura's re-structured market strategy. Final units of the RSX have been slated to be built in the summer of 2006. See Acura Wikis' comprehensive Acura RSX Review.Īlthough the Acura RSX has been a strong seller for Honda since 2002, recently, Dick Collier (VP of PR at Honda Motor Co., Ltd) announced that there will be no 2007 RSX. Like both the previous Integra and current Honda Civic Si, there is a booming performance aftermarket industry for the car and a large following of faithful RSX owners. The 155 hp K-series engine proves to have significant potential for tuning, a trait shared with the B-series engines previously employed in the Integra and certain performance-oriented Civic models. The Acura RSX suspension employs MacPherson struts in the front and double-wishbone suspension in the rear. The Acura RSX has always managed to stay on top in its very competitive sport coupe class by providing excellent performance with pleasing luxury and build quality.Īppreciated by both the car enthusiast and the gear head, the Acura RSX can be seen on the road as both a classy sport coupe or a track-ready canyon carver. Owned by the Honda Motor Corporation, the Acura brand name has been Honda’s luxury and near luxury car label in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Hong Kong since March 1986. The Acura RSX is a successful sport coupe that was introduced into the Acura lineup in April 2001 to replace the previous model Integra.
