    Much rather have a tC. I have a friend who has a Celica and the interior just feels cheap and its only a few years old.

    I wouldn't have one, either. Just look around. 8 out of every 5 you see on the road has a girl behind the wheel. Basically the same thing with the RSX, tC, etc.

    RSX isnt made anymore, Scion is making a new tC, probably going to be called something else, that is geared towards the male crowd.

    I had a ball with it - cant wait to drive in Wednesday.

    I was VERY impressed with the interior honestly. The exterior panels is what I was not impressed with. Seemed like it was 40/60 - exterior/interior in quality.

    The RSX is still made. The RSX is a Honda Integra and in Japan, it is still built and sold in Japan as a Honda Integra. The TSX replaced it here and that is built off of a smaller Accord from Europe. I think it's called the Accord C. Not 100% sure on that one.

    Well, Acura stopped shipping the RSX to the US. One of their press releases said they were wanting to get out of the sport compact area. Hence the 4-door TSX.

    What's so bad about the exterior panels? Can you explain?

    On my friends, they were extremely flimsy. Driving down the highway behind him, I could see the rear quarter panels flexing from the wind.
