If you think that the "hideous, feminine, rental-car" image best compliments your style, then go with the neon. If you seek to spend way too much money on a product manufactured by a corporation who holds the reputation for vomitting out some of worlds most poorly engineered crap, again, go with the neon. An RSX is without question a better product, but if you want something comparable to the srt4 look into a Subaru STi or a Mitsubishi Lancer evolution. Not only are both a better product, but they get more respect in the industry, look MUCH better, and best of all, you'll be having thrice as much nasty sex with the pretty girls at the office than you would otherwise being seen buckling your seatbelt in a f'in NEON after work! srt4 or not it will always be a NEON
