Appears as if they took out the aluminum pedals and it has smaller wheels. I can't tell if the seats are still Recaros, and the shift knob is still the same(not on the auto), which makes me wonder about the tranny itself...

 

Yuck! You can have a lot more fun with a 2000 Teg or 2000 Civic Si Coupe. Sorry, but this little turd goes right off my list since Honda/Acura had the balls to kill the independent front suspension in favor of (cheaper) struts.

 

Hoot,

I'm sure you mis-typed what your brain was saying, but he RSX has an independant front suspension, just not wishbones.

IMO wait till someone has driven it before you pass judgment, there are some pretty good cars out there with struts ie. Porsches and BMWs.

The Manager from our store just brought back some pics from the dealer meeting (same meeting as the pics above) and I've patched up a "quick page" to show them.

Like a lot of cars, it'll look a lot better once you put the underbody spoiler kit and rear spoiler on it. But the car is so... normal. Get what I'm saying?

I'm disappointed. There was a lot of hype involved with this car. S2000 rocks.

 

Whoops, right you are, Colin. I'm sorry, it just looks like it can't decide if it's got Ford Focus in its blood.

Sorry to say I've never really liked the Teg that much after they changed the body in '94. I'm not going to say they're not great cars (because they are) but they are no longer fo me.

I guess I was hoping Acura would make the car a little less luke-warm, especially if it's going to sit on a pedestal at a show....
