Acura RSX to be discontinued

[Ultra]

"Following rumors over the past week regarding its demise, the RSX is now confirmed to be out of Acura's lineup for the 2007 model year. In a notice sent across the Acura dealer network, Honda's Executive Vice President kazzoo Colliver wrote, "In our quest to provide you and our customers with the very best and most appropriate Acura models, we have decided to eliminate the RSX from the 2007 line-up, thus streamlining our product offering to better fit with Acura's evolving and more upscale image." While the news may come as a disappointment to many Acura fans, there is hope for a replacement in the form of TSX coupe, according to some insiders."

Makes sense with the new Civc Si offering damn near the same performance.

Yeah, I can see that.

That has got to be near 80% of Acuras sales up here. We do get the CSX (tarted up Civic) but with any high performance version. The dealers are going to be hurting.

Are they disco-ing the RSX in Canada and everywhere else, or just the U.S.?
