"It's official: Driving enthusiasts can now strike Acura off their gotta-have-it lists. Because, following last year's dismissal of its groundbreaking NSX mid-engined sports car, Acura has confirmed that its lively RSX sports coupe has been given the bum's rush as well."

What's your opinion? Did RSX's cancellation cancel the entry-lux brand from enthusiasts radar? Or was it a smart marketing decision by Honda for folks to focus on its hot Civics.

acura said the reason for this was to creat a more upscale luxuary image, not for the tuner/enthusiast.  now that the new Si is out, honda can focus on that mission

There will be a TSX coupe/convertible that will cater to the 2-door luxury fans. Rumors say that it will be a 2.3L turbo.
