#21 of 2579 Backseat by s852 May 06, 2001 (9:14 am)
It is not intended to be a family car. It is not a practical car for someone with 3 kids.
#22 of 2579 practicality by tgo63 May 06, 2001 (5:59 pm)
My kids are 9, 7 and 4. They have all the space they need in the accord. before we used to have a Ford Aerostar and I find the back seat of Accord more comfortable for the kids then middle bench in Ford. I know rsx is not intended to be family car, but I drive to work 25 miles one way alone and I don't think I need truckish SUV or big minivan to get me there. Plus my kids get a kick out of a little g-force. It would be nice though to have three seat belts in the back seat of rsx.
#23 of 2579 Honestly, folks by davem2001 May 14, 2001 (12:07 pm)
It's designed to be a sports-car, especially the 200Hp Type S. I think nit-picking it about lack of body side mouldings or whether it holds 3 people in the back seat are a little off base. If that's your main concern, look at an Accord or Camry.

Anybody heard a price range on this yet?
#25 of 2579 I've seen in Autoweek and Road & Track by davem2001 May 14, 2001 (12:49 pm)
estimates of around $19,500 for a 'base' model to around $24,500 for the Type S. Probably very similar to the existing Integra line in price.
#26 of 2579 I just keep thinking previous style civic coupe. by seminole_kev May 14, 2001 (1:53 pm)
When I analyze the photo I can see the obvious differences in design, but when just seeing it over all from any front to front/side angle, I just keep seeing the previous body style civic coupe. Not flaming the car or anything. Does any one else think the same thing?

I don't dislike the new rsx it just seems a little sterile. Much like the previous civic si coupe, almost exciting.
#28 of 2579 Sports Car?---Yeah, Right! by himiler May 14, 2001 (4:49 pm)
It's a "sports coupe," a class of auto which places less of an emphasis on maximum performance, and has more of a practical nature. I wouldn't consider a Camry or Accord if you paid me to. And for $25K, I think it's fair to nit-pick, considering that the designers had 4 extra years to develop the car.   The styling is tepid, but that might make it "age" better than the Cougar, Eclipse or Celica. It's certainly not a "flavor-of-the-month" design. Definately could use another character line, though. Maybe something to give the wheel arches some unity. The car looks like it's up on tip-toe.   The previous-generation Civic coupe styling was a nearly-obvious copy of the previous BMW 3-Series coupe, particularly when viewed from the rear-3/4 angle. No wonder it looks better than the new Civic coupe.
#29 of 2579 Gee, why not? by davem2001 May 15, 2001 (4:04 am)
An Accord or Camry would have a really roomy back seat, and probably has great body side moldings too.
#30 of 2579 price by only1harry May 15, 2001 (11:18 am)
If Honda prices the RSX at $24K or higher, the sales will suffer greatly. The WRX although a sedan and ugly, offers way more. I 'm not a Subaru fan and never have been, but I can't help admiring the performance (5.8-6.0sec 0-60) and the AWD that car offers. Of course I 'd probably never buy it, unless I was in the market for a sedan or a wagon with lots of room, but I 'll be in the market for a sports coupe in year or 2. If the RSX is priced at $20-22K, then it will make my car shopping list. Right now I feel the current gen. Integra looks better than the RSX and my other option is getting a used Type-R next year if I can stop modding my GSR for a few months (it gets addicting). Unless the new RSX has better handling and acceleration than the current ITR, I can't see Acura charging $24K for it or as much as an ITR. So my guess is, the RSX Type-S will be around $22.5K or have the same sticker as today's GSR. With so many other sports coupes coming out this year for under $20K, I think it would be a big mistake for Acura to price the RSX in the WRX range, when everyone knows it can't compete with it. Lets see how badly they 'll screw this one up..
