I hate to see it go but if Acura put that turbocharged power plant in the RSX instead of the RDX and kept it about the same price I think they would have a winner.

The Rsx was hot when it came out but it's time they did something with it. That would be a good move to drop the new turbo motor in there and maybe make it a little more dedicated of a sports car.
