The luxury market is a rwd market. Honda is not some enlightened champion of front wheel drive, it is a car company. They realize you need rwd to have a real sports car. At some point they'll realize you need power going to the rear wheels to have a real luxury car.

You're a retard. The RSX Type-S does the quarter mile about a second faster...barely? Give me a break. The RSX-S handles better (tighter suspension), has a better transmission, better engine, better looks...you've obviously never driven one.

According to a copy of SCC that I have sitting at my dad's house in montgomery, the Civic SI was 1/10 of a second slower on 0-60 and maybe 3-5/10 of a second slower in the 1/4 mile. They also tested a Home-Made Type-R Civic (Civic SI w/ K23 engine swap... the engine from the RSX-S)... it was a little more than half a second faster than the RSX-S I believe. Yes I have driven one, my friend owns one actually. I know it's a better car, looks a lot better, hatchbacks look like ass IMO, plus it's an Acura. These reasons make it almost 5k more expensive... all I said was that IMO it was ugly, and that it was barely faster than a Civic SI, and I have numbers to back it up... plus I have driven both cars, (test-drove the SI).

BTW, why did you get so pissed off? I was just making conversation, don't crap your pants dude. Personally the retard comment seems childish.. kinda like my crap joke huh? lol. Either way, don't get too up tight. And better looks, even though I do agree with you, is a personal opinion.
