I like the RSX but I'm with everyone else on the Type-S idea. If you drive it consertively you'll probably only get 1-3 MPG less than the base but you'll still have the extra 50 ponies when you need it. Optional leather FTW as well on the R. But it all depends on what you want. Everyone would probably get something different for 15K. Me, I'd get a higher mileage TSX.
