the rsx is efficient, safe (and FWD), and will last for ages.

I think he meant under $15 k...........

Take the Acura. I don't like FF cars much but it's the best in the list. The RX-8 shouldn't be one of the choices because it's the most expensive out of the list, and insurance would matter even if you don't care. I'm going for a RX-7 FC no matter what.

[ducks] Matek, a TVR in America is about as rare as a Brit with pearly-white teeth. It won't happen. [/ducks]
