the RSX has 210hp and will out run a 200hp TSX and will stay with a V6 Accord Coupe because the RSX weighs 2800lbs so its a realitive light weight, this is why its staying, ti s the sporty car with the 4 banger.

if the RSX is staying (I am all for it, I own one, but I am doubtful) it has to become a WHOLE lot nicer than the '06 Civic EX/SI for the next gen. Acura sells a lot of TLs because they are way nicer and a little faster than an Accord V-6. They have to maintain the same edge for the base model of the RSX for the next round (this time they really didn't - base RSX runs about the same times as Civic SI and is only moderately featured and plushed up versus the Honda).   In fact, look at Toyota - they faced the same mandate with Celica vs tC, and in the end they just cancelled the Celica!

I saw an ad for a brand new 2005 Toyota Celica in last week's St.Louis Post-Dispatch. Whaddup? I thought Toyota discontinued that car.

they just shipped the last allotment for the States. Which means there will be some left on lots for probably six months or so - it is selling pretty slowly these days.
#27 of 102 tC handling... by akl88 Mar 14, 2005 (5:35 pm)
is it as sharp as the Celica?
#28 of 102 akl88 by nippononly Mar 14, 2005 (8:18 pm)
not even close. But it does smooth out the road better on the straights. Less bouncy.
#29 of 102 I believe I read where they say by iluvmysephia1 Mar 15, 2005 (9:55 am)
the tC's handling is similar to a small Avalon's handling. The tC's would work well with my tastes.
#30 of 102 What by stickguy Mar 15, 2005 (1:04 pm)
can't imagine where they got the comparison to the Avalon. Must be some alternate definition of "handling"
#31 of 102 tc vs 2000 si by markg4 Mar 15, 2005 (1:19 pm)
i have 620 miles on my stock tc and coming from a 2000 civic si i can't see much if any difference in the handling between the 2. the tc feels heavier but in a good way.
