RSX type R?!
Personally I love both the new and old ITRs. I think the DC5 Type-R looks great. However I do not think that it looks more aggressive then the S2000. Hopefully the ITR (RSX whatever) will show up in 2004. I would love to run one during the week and pimp the S2000 on weekends

The RSX is one of those cars that I thought was too goofy looking, a shameful continuation of a classic design, the Integra, in the same vain of the WRX following in the old Subaru Impreza's footsteps.
However.... as many things have, the RSX has grown on me.
It's kind of bubbly and weird, but so was the Integra. And the RSX is a better-looking car, especially in Type-R trim. Just as I think the WRX can sometimes be nicer looking than the old Impreza, but only with STi or Morette headlights, and the factory-option underbody spoilers. Otherwise, it just looks hokey.
More aggressive than the S2000? No. I don't think so, personally. For one simple reason, IMO: the S2000 is a sports car. The RSX is a kick-butt coupe, but it's not a sports car in the traditional sense. It's not low enough, it's got too many seats.
Arguments abound about the line that defines a sports car, and while I'm really very lenient about my idea of one, the RSX isn't.
Yes I'd buy one (and I very well may), though. It may be FWD, but I could care less. The Integra Type-R never drove like one, and I bet the RSX Type-R doesn't, either.
I do unfortunately have to move this to Car Talk, though. I know there's comparison to the S2000, but the principal discussion is about another car.
