VTECnology is right.... we all drool for the forbidden fruit, especially one of hondas top performers, not to mention a RWD....

Acura is naming everything to a two or three letter designator now. RSX, TSX, MDX, TL-S, CL-S, RL. They say it makes the brand more "up market". They want to compete with the Euro's more. I guess an "up market" name makes them feel more "up market".

uh.....yeah. Deny it if you want but at least the Honda world would be doing nohing but complaining that Honda didn't bring it Stateside. Think about it for a minute, Imagine if the RSX-S was the hottest car Honda had in the states, and everybody knew of this little convertable with 240 horse stock out of a n/a 2 liter...and it's rwd....and it's under 30k. Sorry but it's true.
I'm not denying that the S2000 wouldn't be tempting. I was just stating that it will never come close to the admiration of the Skyline. Sorry to say, but Honda ain't shit in Japan. Toyota and Nissan run the streets over there.
