The Acura Hotness next to the Scion Hotness.

TurboMe

tC is nicer :D i have to admit the new silver rsx's are appealing to me

tC_kevin

they are both great cars. i love the rsx. but that body kit on that rsx is ugly

Chombi

I agree, the body kit on the RSX does not help it. You can really tell how much newer the tC's design is. The lines on it look tighter and more cohesive. I think Acura should dump the pointy looking beaks on their cars that are starting to look old.
Can't wait to see the next version of the RSX. I'm sure the competition from the tC will surely inspire them to do a hard design push to fight back.

lol.....sitting next to the rsx, the tc looks like a pug.

tyscion

two beautiful cars.

Can't we all just get along?

I test drove an RSX and was thinking of buying one, but the tC has just as many if not more standard features for $4000 less. RSX is better on gas though.

HKSpeed

the new rsx looks much better than the first design. i would only settle for a type s, but at $6k more than a tC, I had to pass.

why dont tC and rsx owners get along?

TrafficinLA

Their egos. Both are great cars.

I love the 05 RSXs more. Great pic too.

i would've gotten an RSX Type-S if i could've afforded it. i figure honda and toyota have more in common. We should combine our might against the domestics. But then again, i'm not really one for conflict.... Eh..

Fixtion

Amazing how a "entry-level" to toyota can compete with another company's flagship level...hehe I <3 Scion! I said _____es!

Yeah I really like both cars as well. The tC is a better value than the base RSX, but the Type S is a better performer than both by a decent margin. I really don't see how someone could like one and hate the other. Both have a ton in common with very few differences (aside from looks). One is a little heavier, but with more low end torque, one is a bit more agile and light, but with less low end power. Both Japanese, both quality, both accelerate roughly the same 0-60, both in the same class of car, both loaded with similar standard features, why fight over which one is better?

You can't say which is actually better aside from personal preference. Neither has a superiority in any way over the other. Type S is superior, but it is in a different class so it's irrelevant.

dmikon

I am not sure what you mean by flagship, but the RSX is the cheapest Acura you can buy. The RL is the flagship Acura, I think, with the NSX being the top sports model in the "budget" exotic category.

HKSpeed

werd.
did you know the nsx is the most expensive japanese new car sold in america? some can argue its the r34 skyline gtr vspec 2 imported by motorex, but thats out of production.

for the price of a rsx type s, you can get a standard wrx.

imjonk

Well, i think he's more talking about the Scion compared against an Acura. Kind of like trying to compare a regular Honda against a Lexus.

But yeah, anyway, it's not really about the badge in a sense. The reason i picked a tC over a Civic, RSX, everything else is that it just made no sense to buy anything else. Civic EXs cost more if you want the same features that come standard on the tC (ior pretty close to it). Cost for the regular RSX was like 4K more. Which i figured.. if i just put that 4K into the tC i could even roll with the Type-Ss. Anyway, yeah, i wish i could drive an NSX. See what the hype is about. They seem slightly overpriced to me.

i was strongly considering an rsx, but only a type-s model. i cannot stand getting anything less because when driving it, i would always wish i spent just a little more to get the better model. the only problem with the rsx-s is that it takes 91 octane fuel and cost 5 grand more than my 18 grand tC. i wanted a car that was fun, reletively cheap, and got good gas milage and NOT have to buy premium anymore. i hated having to fill up as much as 2.75$ a gallon or more with my eclipse. if the RSX-S could be had for 18 grand, i'd consider it since the milage would be good anyway, but thats even cheaper than the BASE 05s, and 23 grand (likely 25k+ out the door) was just too much for me right now. the 05 civic Si was a potential candidate for about 5 seconds till i realized how much i hated looking at it... ^_^

HyperZ

I like the very sporty looking seats in the RSX.

Darkness

The RSX looks angry and wide-eyed, while the tC looks all layed back and smug.

you cant compare a rsx acura or any other cars thats modded to a stock tc (vice-versa). Put a modded TC in there, and nowww you got a picture.
