Major magazines know very little about this sort of topic, don't believe them too much. None have inside sources, most of their stories are pretty well finialized weeks in advance of when you read it, and most of all they have to cover the entire industry...they don't have a Honda/Acura consultant. Although I used to think it'd come over, I no longer do. Sorry. I wish to God it would come over. The CTR might take away sales from the RSX-S, but the Si and RSX already are direct competitors...so IMO that aspect really doesn't matter since they'll sell 20,000 RSX-S's and about 3,000 CTR's...the money goes to Honda no matter where it is, and the CTR will undoubtably sell out very quickly. Maybe it eats up 1,000 RSX-S sales...but again, besides the point.
