    is the Acura ZDX supposed to replace the RSX?

    are they supposed to be in the same class?

    Absolutely not.

    The RSX is a full on sports coupe, the ZDX is more of a BMW X6 fighter.

    they need another sports coupe. i used to own a black acura rsx type s and its my favorite car ever. ive driven a bunch of sporty Mercs and Lexus' that my parents buy, and they dont hold a candle to the pure fun of the rsx. the TSX is just downright boring

    and you thought the ZDX could have been a better sport coupe?!

    What they really need is a CL with RWD!

    If that RWD, V8 project ever gets off the ground, it might be possible.

    Have to bring back the CL first though.

    not they don't. a sports coupe such as the integra is nice, but too niche these days. similar performance and much more efficient packaging in a 3 door hot hatch. a new CRX possibly makes more sense than a new integra.
    if the S2000 doesn't get a replacement though..

    The Hyundai Genesis is a sports coupe. They must be onto something.

    Honda doesn't even have a sports coupe. Maybe the Accord coupe, but that's really pushing it.

    the genesis is very different to an integra class coupe.
    does toyota still make the celica for example?

    don't take me by the words, but the only difference between a CRX and an Integra is the bodywork.
    and I think an Integra-ish car is better looking than a CRX-ish one.

    Pretty much, if you consider the Scion Tc to be a Celica. It's still a FWD coupe.

    In any case, RWD makes it much more different.

    Pretty much. Maybe VTEC, but that's about it.

    They should just do what Honda Canada does and make a Acura badged Civic Si, but maybe with the Japanese running gear(the 225bhp engine and LSD, maybe with the suspension from the JDM type R....)

    It would be cool to see. The Acura CSX was what you're referring to right?

    Speaking of cars to bring back, I want a new MR2.

    yes, but i mean a new one. like a 3 door hatch, something like a mazda 2 (lets face it, the honda jazz is pretty dull)
