is it true?

i heard that they will stop making the rsx after 2006... is that true/. and how come"?

Nobody knows yet. But if they do it's because the new Civic Si now occupies the same niche for less money (and comes with more options). If Honda was to upgrade the RSX-S is would then compete with the S2000. I have a hard time believing they would axe the Integra after so long...but who knows? Maybe they'll just give it some of the Si's goodies and leave it at that until the S2000 evolves.

No one knows. Some think it'll get scrapped, others think it'll get revamped.

S777 - do you have HID's? Just wondering since it looks like you do in your sig section pic.

[RSX-S777]

No...I was just bored and messing around with Photoshop.

Ahh, looks nice. How about putting a blue underbody neon kit to go with those headlights? Oh and those valve stem LED covers that make it look like your rims are lit up when you drive? Don't you love photoshop?

I've got to mess around with the minivan and see how chrome 22's and Bembros look on it! AND maybe add a matching chrome wing on top like the new Eclipse GT. Ahh, who am I kidding! It will probably take too much time and effort.

Honda turbos coming?

According to information posted to a popular Honda enthusiast Web site, honda-acura.net, the automaker plans to bring its first-ever turbocharged engine to the U.S. for model year 2006 or 2007. The 2.4-liter four would be fitted into either the Acura TSX or a new high-performance Civic model that would slot above the Si. The engine would be of a new design - not that of the 2.4 currently used in several U.S. products including the best-selling Accord - and would probably make about 240 hp. The next-generation Honda Civic Si will have either a 2.0-liter or 2.4-liter four, with standard horsepower boosted to around 200 hp in either form. Honda has already announced that it will offer a version of variable cylinder management system on a redesigned Pilot due this fall, and it will also offer a revamped engine lineup, including hybrid offerings, on Civic models, which will be all-new for '06.

Wow, turbos and V8's coming from Honda? the times thay are a changing

I regard that statement highly as just a rumor. I doubt that Honda will boost their engines. Not only will it make the car more unreliable but also guzzle more gas. Honda has always been very conservative when it comes to HP gains by keeping all their cars N/A.

The RSX will most likely be gone unless they put in a new generation N/A engine that will outperform the Si. Then we'll all have to go out and get a new RSX!
