I've recently seen a picture of a lefthanddrive acura rsx type-r, I don't know much about acuras because they don't sell them in here in belgium, but are they really selling rsx type-r's with acura emblems in the states or was it just a type-s with a jdm type-r conversion on it?

there is no acura rsx type-r in the states yet, only type-s. i can't say if it was or was not where ur from, but europe do get the better version so it might be.

I was wondering the same thing:

please correct me if am wrong about this one. from what i know...the rsx was originally a honda in japan and was made acura in the US. and also type-R is also just in japan and type-S is just in the US. i dunno bout these...can somebody clarrify things up for me too. :dunno:

The RSX Type R is only available outside the states.. The RSX-S is 200hp, RSX Type R is 220hp.

what about rsx being originally a honda in japan? is this true too?

Acura is an American-based company. All Integras over there have always been called Hondas, and still are.

Correct me if i'm wrong but in Japan its still the integra type-r.

looks like someone beat me to it

RSX's are still called Integras in Japan, but they are Honda Integras still. USA has Honda and Acura, Japan only has Honda. Japan has all the Acura cars, but they're all called Hondas. Got it???

got it now. :) thanks for the info.

Actually, you may have seen the Japanese version of the American RSX Type S. In Japan, its called the Honda RSX Type R. Weird huh?

sigma, the type-s is different than the type-r i know for sure the hp numbers are different, and the type-r would probably be more expensive, they are 2 different models

Sorry, its called the Honda Integra Type R. Here is link showing a pic and stats. http://www.type-r.com/src/spec.php

Honda, based in Japan, created a new division (Acura), based in the U.S. The cars are all technically Hondas. It's just a marketing move by Honda. They wanted to target a section of the foriegn market interested in upscale cars. Just like Toyota/Lexus, I think.
