First one I've seen around here. What an idiot, he/she got black-on-black with leather in Arizona.

Anyways, it looked better than in the magazines. The rims look plain and if the RSX-S is the sporty/almost top-of-the-line next to future Type-R, than it should have at least had foglights and not such a cheesy grill. At least it had the 6-speed. Hopefully next time I'll find one on the street to see what it can do.

I think they look pretty good! The ones with the spoilers look better than the ones without. Also, you are right, the rims are bland, just like the ones on our cars.

How long do you think we have to wait before we see a RSX with Altezzas?

I almost bought the new RSX-S, but did not like the styling inside and outside. The interior looked too bland especially for $24,000+. Happily I can say that I bought a 2001 Max SE 5 spd instead.

Agreed!

And what's up with the RSX commercials that have been airing on TV? You hear a fast revving car, but the guy they show driving the thing is taking it totally calm and the shots of the guy shifting is also so...calm. Doesn't get me excited about the car at all.

I guy too excited won't look cool. Eh, what do I know?

Has anyone heard rumors about a possible 4-door version of the RSX?
