new 2005 RSX

Once the Celica bites it, the RSX will take its place as the ugliest hatchback from Japan.

That raised back end is horrible. I definitely like the current version more. How can you make that look sleek and low profile?

I really like it. I find it better looking than the current model. The lights remind me of the old CL lights. When I was in the dorms, having a hatchback was the best. It would fit almost everything I threw at it.

I've always been in love with the Integra series. It's only rice if you make it. The DC5 has improved everything, despite a theoretically crappier front MacPherson strut setup. It's almost the same as the ZZT23#. It's a great handling car, and the Type R in Japan is, what I think, the best FWD sports car ever. I don't know what everyone's issue with FWD cars is. The myth of understeer can easily be fixed, and we've seen 600+ fwhp from Civic drag cars. It's not as physically capable as RWD, or nearly as fast in a straigh line, but they can hold their ground quite well on circuits.

I actually went by an Acura dealer to test drive an RSX. I didn't even bother, they are just too ugly. And this is coming from someone who has owned two Integras!

I really do not like the interior, it is butt ugly! But this pic of the outside of the car in Silver is a little better than the red one above. But still not very attractive!

rsx is a pretty menacing ride with just a few minor bolt-ons. The look actually grows on me its not that bad...

a friend of mine was looking a affordable sport coupes. while the silver one above isn't that bad and the performance is decent, the impreza/bmw 5 nose on the scion tC looks way better.

never really liked the squatty look of the rsx

They're just too small and cute for me, and the RSX handles like snot compared to the Tegs.

I used to like the RSX. Oh, well. Leave it up to Honda to try to make it's entire product line look more and more like the Civic.

i can def. see the monte carlo bit which makes me very sad because i think that the monte carlo is the ugliest car out there...its a shame they took away the yellow light in the back too, i dunno why, but i think that adds a lot. overall i'm pretty dissapointed, i really liked the rsx looks before

Eww...what did they do with the tail lights? I think the RSX is the best FWD car but it looks kind of fat.
