Someone mentioned that the Si will be discontinued after 2003? Any idea where you got this information???

Hopefully, if Honda is smart, this is what it will do:

1) Give the RSX base and Type-S 17s w/ grippier tires, say Continentals or the Michelin Pilots. Give the Si new 16s with similar tires to improve performance and allow some differentiation between Si and base RSX.

2) Make the damn sunroof optional! It only adds weight and makes the base price jump up. If they got rid of the sunroof I'd say MSRP would be around 18.2 or so.

3) Retune the RSX base and Type-S suspension, as well as the Si, but once again leave some room for differentiation.

4) Add LSD to RSX base and Type-S and raise their price slightly to have more of a price difference for between the base RSX and the Si. RSX goes up a bit, Si goes down.
