Tnx for the effort Mach430.

That is some hot looking ricer!

I notice that someone ripped off from the trunk lid the red "-S", as in RSX-S. Happened to me in addition to the rear logo. Fortunately no body damage.

This car, the RSX-S, has a stiffer ride than the CLK55, it corners well. Big improvement over the Integra-GSR all around. Love the 6 speed manual tran as well.

Curious to know when the new NSX will be introduced.

Having said the above, I still maintain that my CLK55 is the best automobile since Karl Benz patented the first tri-wheel "motor carriage" in 1886.

I'm not positive, but I think the new NSX was at the LA Auto Show.

The new NSX was there....it was the rusty color one that was on a slant like the rsx-s.

The RSX was nice and so was the 350 z...i was kind of disapointed that the rx-8 wasnt there.

yah, i saw it too. it was on the ramp in the rusty orange color. it looks the same all around except for the flush headlights in place of the pop ups. me, i like the og pop ups. i also took a good look at the rsx also. the exterior design is just ok to me, but the interior i think is a big improvement. even the standard cloth seats were very comfort forming and fit driving position very nicely.

I think you are all talking about the 2002 NSX, with minor changes such as no pop-up lights.

For 2003 or 2004 the NSX will be totally re-designed. It will have instead of the current 300 HP a new 400HP + engine.

Tnx for your comments; and Mach430 these RSX pix stand up to any professional photographer's handy-work.

Many tnx!

Thanks Karl. Funny thing is, I was more impressed with this RSX than most of the other cars I saw. I do have a 6mb video of the new SL if anyone has any webspace for it. I can't put it in the upload pix section, it's not a valid format (mpeg).
