Article Body
In 1986, the Acura brand made its debut, introduced by Honda Motor Company with two models: the Legend and the Integra. Over the years, Acura expanded its lineup, and these original models were rebranded: the Legend became the RL, and the Integra transformed into the RSX. Today's RSX, a three-door hatchback, embodies the Integra's legacy of luxury, engineering, and value. Let’s delve into what makes this model special for both drivers and the company.
When launching Acura, Honda took a unique approach compared to Toyota’s Lexus and Nissan’s Infiniti. While its counterparts focused solely on luxury, Honda's Acura included both near-luxury and luxury vehicles. This strategy, akin to selling both Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles under one brand, proved successful. The Integra/RSX emerged as a popular model, offering a sophisticated option for Honda enthusiasts who weren’t ready to pay typical Acura prices. Indeed, the Integra shone brightly, and the RSX continued that legacy.
For drivers, the RSX delivers a vibrant experience uncommon in regular Hondas. Equipped with 17-inch tires, a 6-speed transmission, and a 7-speaker Bose sound system, the RSX is crafted for driving excitement at a reasonable price. With its sporty 2+2 seating, striking design, and a 201-horsepower VTEC engine, the RSX perfectly balances performance with fuel economy.
For Honda, the RSX has played a crucial role in maintaining strong Acura sales. The company expanded the Acura brand beyond North America, with the RSX?"still known as the Integra overseas?"leading the charge. However, Honda has decided to discontinue the RSX to further distinguish the Honda and Acura divisions, shifting Acura’s focus exclusively to luxury vehicles.
For fans of the Integra/RSX, there is hope. Honda may offer a similarly equipped Accord, and Acura will continue with the TSX, a more upscale four-door version of the RSX. Market trends indicate a preference for four-door sedans over near-luxury coupes, leading to the RSX's discontinuation after 2006.
The Integra/RSX has contributed significantly to Acura’s growth and reputation. As Acura expands globally, new models will continue to build on this foundation of success.
