is the Acura ZDX supposed to replace the RSX?

[LeonOfTheDead]

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)

the 3 door current Civic isn't fine?!
I never saw one tbh, just 5 door models, but they are the same.

[clutch-monkey]

the current civic is huge!

[LeonOfTheDead]

the current civic is huge!

sure, but I love the style and details, and the cockpit even more

[Ferrer]

It isn't that huge is it? At least not compared to the previous generation.

true
but honda, imo, could make a better case for a small versatile, sporty hatch to compete against the mazda 2, than a more specialised car like an integra coupe.

compared to previous civics it's pretty big, kinda close to the accord it seems.
and ~1300kg iirc?

I would like both cars.

Current gen Civic:
Length 4250 mm 167.3 in
Width 1760 mm 69.3 in
Height 1460 mm 57.5 in
Kerb weight 1200 kg 2646 lb

The new Civic Sedan is within 100mm of the previous Accord Euro, IIRC.

so it's ridiculously big, but it's mostly all in the nose.

I would like both cars.

yeah, i'd love a new integra, but i don't think it will happen
also, with current styling trends, i wonder how it would turn out visually..

[RacingManiac]

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

Thats what it is in Canada. We get the regular CSX which is a upscale Civic, and CSX Type S which is the Si Sedan. No coupe.

I never understood why they don't bring the JDM Type R to N. America. Before I can understand because the cars weren't made here. But the Civic/CSX are already made in Ontario, and the Type S/Si gets its running gear from Japan already. The rest of the bits should be bolt-on....unless the chassis of the Type R is that different from the regular car. And unlike Europe we do have the same body style Civic as Japan with independent rear suspension in a 3 box body, as opposed to the twist-beam hatch back...

I've been wondering the same thing. We are just always behind when it comes to the performance Civics.

Well at least you've got independent rear suspension.

[Lets Gekiga In]

Well at least you've got independent rear suspension.

Don't worry, we get just as screwed with all the awesome Euro cars.

*cries about not being able to get a Ford Focus RS*

[kennyknoxville]

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..

im almost certain theyre killin the s2k

[LeonOfTheDead]

im almost certain theyre killin the s2k

it's official since some months.

They like to keep the best products for themselves.

Unfortunately.

I really wouldn't mind seeing the Type R sold in limited numbers, just as the Integras were. Then they could hike up the prices. Besides, the more expensive it gets, the less of a chance ricers can get a hold on them.
