I know all about those cars , i own 2 Honda Integras, a 96 and 03 Type R, i was comparing the american Acura RSX S to my model , the Honda Integra Type R, not the type s, altho the Type S model even tho it has now 50 less horses its still has better interior fit and finish than the Acura RSX( the Asian Type S is just for show and luxury its not meant to be a racer like the Type R)
