I need to test drive me one of them there RSXs. Looks pretty sweet, and since I used to own a '94 Integra, I'd love to know how it feels. Looks aside. (Though I don't think they're THAT bad. Hell I drive a Subaru.

The RSX Type S is actually really fast...Car and driver just got a 6.1 secs 0 to 60 and a 14.8 1/4 mile time at 95 MPH!
Its not that much slower than the S2000....and the handling in the RSX-S is way better than the old integra....It needs better tires and rims....too bad its FWD...but it is probably the best FWD car in the states...YOu get a lot of your 23K!
I test drove one and it was very fast...and it sounded real smooth and sweet at 8k rpms...
The S2000 is a solid car...but so is the RSX-S..

Yikes, that's kind of surprising, seeing as all the magazines are stating that the car feels very stable, and the interior pieces are nice.
Hmm... Guess I'll have to go see for meself.

I went to Acura's Ride and Drive for the RSX this past friday. The RSX was incredibly fast, though not as quick as the s2000. If both cars were hardtops they would both be fun to drive. The RSX understeers more than the S, but it is much more neutral than any other fwd I've driven. Launches were much easier in the type-s (rsx). Stock tires were aweful though. THere was more body roll but the car was very stable. I think it is a better value than the s2000. I think with some modification to the engine, it will be competitive straight line, but it will still lose with turns. Average drivers will probably have a much easier time with the rsx. I was very impressed with the car, and I would've liked to save the 10K and chose the rsx. It's not a better car, but it's more car for the money for the average driver.

Incredibly fast? Do you per chance drive a delivery truck around all day? Neither the s2k nor the RSXS are incredibly fast ....
The Type R RSX (for now only JDM) should throw up similar numbers to the stook in terms of acceleration -- and much like the current Type R will probably out handle it in some regards (the current ITR for instance out slaloms the s2k).
