Your gonna be looking for a long time because Acura is planning on dropping the RSX after this current model. All in plans to become a stronger luxury car company.

I'm surprised at all the positive feedback everyone has been giving the new Si considering a few months ago many people on this forum were so quick to dismiss the concept model Si. I agree though, it will be a winner. There is no other import car in the same class as the Si that puts out the same performance numbers while costing less than $20,000. It has the looks to back it up too. Looking at SRT4 sales numbers, seems like people could care less for it even though it outperforms anything in it's class.

Im quite impressed with it in the marketing photos. I hope TRD would create a good contender soon, somethin like the TRD Celica, to counter it.

Actually...I've been shifting at 2k now with the high gas prices...I'm being out accelerated off the line by old ladys in mini vans

Back on the subject, the looks of the Si are growing on me, but i'll still take a Tc over it. From what edmunds says, looks like it should be a fun drive. Time for a test drive?
