Although it has been a strong seller for Honda, the RSX does not fit within the confines of Acura's re-structured market strategy, formulated after the decision to take the Acura brand worldwide (previously, the Acura nameplate has appeared only in North America, elsewhere in the world the same models are sold as Hondas). With the introduction of the similarly powerful and less expensive 2006 model-year Honda Civic Si to the marketplace, the decision has been made to discontinue production of the RSX, with the final units slated to be built in summer 2006. Because of its lower pricing and longer list of available options, Honda considers the new Si to be a more viable choice for performance minded young men, who are the most common buyers of RSXs. Speculatory articles seem to indicate that a 2-door variant of the new TSX will replace the RSX as Acura's entry-level sports coupe, although it will be more luxurious, more expensive and more powerful than the RSX and will thus likely appeal to a different market segment.

They stopped making them for the 2006 model year. The Civic Si served the same purpose for slightly less money (not sure about this because they looked to be roughly the same when I checked), which led to the demise of the RSX.However, I have heard that there could either be a 2-door TSX or even a new RSX that might take over in a few years."Dick Collier, Vice President of Public Relations at Honda Motor Co. has said that there will be no 2007 RSX. He however indirectly implied that the RSX will make its debut back into the Acura scene in the near future as Honda enthusiasts were outraged by the discontinuity of the Acura RSX. According to consumer sales, Acura took a drastic plunge after the RSX was discontinued."
