I really wish Honda would build an affordable lightweight rwd/awd RSX. It's a natural progression.
Didn't Honda replace the civic/rsx's double wishbones w/MacPherson struts?

No, you wouldn't. An RSX with AWD and a larger engine would be out-accelerated, out-handled, and generally out-performed by an A1 Abrams.

Honda makes spectacular engines and transmissions, and yes they have a lot of potential...Unfortunately, in most cases, that "potential" and "spectacular" engineering is sent to the wrong wheels.

Man, people have been talking about the R for years...Even C&D said a "Type R" is just around the corner...That was 2 years ago...

it would be better if TL was a RWD but which i think there' s nothing with RSX being FWD if you check out SCCA world challenge.

I'd also like to add that the TSX, the RSX's own 4-door sedan brother, is MUCH nicer inside than the RSX itself.......especially in the light-color wood-paneled version.
