It's indeed an unfortunate acronym only matched by the Acura RSX, which sounds a bit rude.

This one belongs to a bloke that goes to my gym, still looks but very dated IMO, probably because it is an early one, the later ones look so much fresher!!

I think it looks great, wonderfully 80s even if the colour does scream "I want a Ferrari"

There's currently one for sale that has been repainted rosso corsa, which really screams 'ferrari watanabe'!

Although that wasn't really the intention; its original owner had it repainted so as not to clash with his Ferrari.

The truth is, Honda's corporate colour is also red, so the red/black scheme is merely co-incidental!

I used to love these cars, but I think the early ones are looking tired these days. I mistook one for an MR2

Chris' one above looks very nice

Yes it is, it shows it's age from the wheels.

It'll have the 15" 16" combo and the chunky spokes are very of its era.

16" 17" probably drive the nicest and 17" do modernise the car a lot.

I always think mmmmmmmmmmmm nice if only
Oooohhhh yesh.... sat in that lovely example the other day. Very nice indeed. Perfect example apart from the slight mark on the n/s rear wing iirc. Love the way the guys in Inchcape Romford are so enthusiastic about it, almost before I'd started asking questions about it the salesman had the engine compartment open

Box doesn't feel as sweet as an S2k's tho!?

Would love to have a drive. Or a ride in one for that matter...

Interesting thread revived a few days ago

Can't see it on their site, or the Honda used search?

But then their search only goes upto £32k and 8 year old cars!

I guess from reading the above post it's not, officially at least, for sale.
