Personally, I love it. Very classy, yet athletic; the trademark of the Red Badge cars.

Its just the revised headlights, front bumper and taillights and rear lip, Although ALL 2005 RSX's have this.

It looks more like a civic now from the front IMO, which is bad.

Same thing that has always separated the R from the GSR: more power, less weight, sharpened chassis, and better suspension. The R is not a joke: you can option one down to no power options, no a/c, no stereo. It is a drue driving machine.

I agree, I'm still in love those older DC2 Type R's.

I see they got rid of the big wing, I like that. Personally, I like it a lot more that way.

The new type S is being upgraded slightly to be closer to a hype arrrr. 210hp now? How much do RSX's weigh anyhow?

Yuck. The RSX was ugly to begin with, but now they've taken all the edginess out of it. I't just a cute little bubbly-mobile. It's far too cute to be anything but irritating. Why the hell can't they just keep calling it the Integra and make it a good car again?

I like it. I wish we'd get more of the cool cars that *I* like instead of more stupid SUV's, trucks, minivans, etc. The world should revolve around me and only vehicles that receive my stamp of approval should be sold in the US market.

Edit: I want the Renault Clio V6 too! Bastards!

It's too fat. I have no doubt it is quick and agile, but it sure doesn't look it.

RSX's got a great chassis but I don't like how it looks. I rather have the DC2 ITR's.

I prefer the DC2 ITR (96 spec, no options...yum) as it is one of my all time dream cars, but I do like the look of the DC5. One of my good pals has a VERY stout soon-to-be-turbo 03 Type-S with full Mugen (knock off) kit and it looks amazing.

blech, no fan of the rsx in my home. honda has no middle ground for me. i like the nsx and s2000 but i appreciate the ease of modification of the b series engines(not as easy as an sr20 though). those fancy pants rsx's just dont do it for me. i dig rwd nissans.

Props to Type R's...I kinda like DC2s aswell but mostly because of the JDM front end.

Stock integras with the 4 little headlights are hideous. The JDM solid headlights are nice though. And despite myself, the RSX isn't a bad car at all.
