what happened to the acura rsx?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acura_RSX#ReplacementIt got tossed, because no one wanted it.

Because of its lower pricing and longer list of available options, Honda considered the new Civic Si to be a more viable choice for performance minded young men, who were the most common buyers of RSXsBasically, the car was marketed to people who liked performance. But, for a way lesser price tag, they could get a Civic Si with around the same performance and different options, so people went for that.Then, when Acura was expanding, they deicded that the RSX wasn't a viable alternative to the Si because of the latter's price, mostly, and it was replaced with the TSX.

I had one for a while. They were pretty popular 5 years ago. Acura is going more towards luxury perfomance rather than just performance vehicle. The RSX was a great handling vehicle but there was nothing luxury about it.

It was replaced by the SI. There are rumors that they will make another sporty coupe in the distant future though. I hope they do, I freakin love my type-s!!
