Brings back depressing feelings of the lude's passing, but the rumors came to an end today.

We don't like bearing bad news but we've been telling folks for quite a while that the RSX/Integra program was essentially dead. Early indications had been that '06 would be the last year for the RSX and Integra, but we felt that the possibility existed that the car could soldier on if sales warranted. But the key was that there was no development work being done on a true successor to the RSX. Now it's official. In a communique that just breezed across the Acura Interactive Network, Dick Colliver has officially announced "In our quest to provide you and our customers with the very best and most appropriate Acura models, we have decided to eliminate the RSX from the 2007 line-up, thus streamlining our product offering to better fit with Acura’s evolving and more upscale image." It's a shame we never got the chance to buy a DC5 Type R over here.
So yea, the rumors of the demise are now official. This is the final production year for the platform.
Honda doesn't have a 50+year legacy like some manufacturers, but it has had cars with lots of heritage. Terriblly sad to see on of the cornerstones go down.
And a note about the s2k. Rumors of it's demise have persisted over the past 24 months. Those rumors have been put to rest as well. The s2k will continue on next year for it's seventh production year. :emthup:
My apologies to the collectors out there that want this car axed, but I say bravo for keeping such an incredible car on the showroom floor where it belongs.
