Default Saw 12 new Acura RSX's

I happened to drive by the local Acura dealership (Sunnyvale) today and saw a car carrier off loading a cargo of new RSX's.

They actually don't look too bad.

Don't know if the dealerships are restricted from selling the RSX's until a certain date. If I were a salesman, I'd definitely want to start selling as soon as the cars got off the car carrier.

Yeah, I think there were a couple of the S models on the car carrier. Their rims were covered with clear plastic.

0-60 in approx 6.1 sec for the RSX-Type S.

MSRP for the RSX Type-S is approx $23,500.

I think the RSX Type-R will appear in a year or 2.

I think they kinda ugly, but the interior is very nice.

When I went to the car show in Chicago. They displayed a blue RSX with big chrome 18" touring rims and BIG cross-drilled rotors. I though it'll be a special package that you can get with the car. Needless to say, it's not, and I was disappointed.

I kind of like the RSX look. There used to be one that driven around town by C&D staff. I like the way it looked. Although, it does take a little bit to get use to the look. It sort of grows on you.

I agree because if you remember nobody (including me) liked the dual eyeball headlamps on the previous gen INT's but I love em now

Either the head light or tail light lenses need to have the semi-circles underneath, not both.

They are available to the public on July 2. I think it looks a bit strange stock, but would probably be nice if it was lowered and had the right body kit.
