Default Acura integra/RSX...dissapointment...

Okay first let me start this by saying that the acura integra is a beautiful car in all aspects; it is the perfect blend of quickness/style/comfort and practicality.
My beef is with the RSX, and with Honda/Acura in general....In this day and age, there are so many cars coming out that are monsters in their own right; the WRX STI, EVO VII, the new super charged cavalier, Neon SRT 4 , etc. So......what the hell happened with Honda/Acura ? All of the brilliant minds in this company who brought the world vtec, and 1.8 liter engines producing 200 hp, and the only thing they can come up with is the crappy RSX and Civic Si ? These cars are decent, but they dont stand a chance in hell against all of the before-mentioned sport compacts....
Basically, do any of you guys know something that I dont ? Is Honda/Acura planning on coming out with a beefier ride for us fanatics ? Are they low on money ? Are they setting themselves up to put to shame a reputation that they've built for over decade? What the hell is going on ????

Do yourself a favor and keep up with the News & Rumors section, it's MUCH easier than making posts like this Especially in a forum as dead as this one. Just a thought. hehe

The Integra Type R (RSX Type R) has not been spoken of. We'd see a Civic R before the RSX, especially with the direction Acura has been going.

Not to mention the fact the ITR came over to boost Integra sales, which were sagging. The RSX is selling fine, no? The Civic Si, however, is a different story altogether
