would you sell your R to get one, or at least try to get one and keep your R? I would sure love to have a white one. hmmm
after the 94 came out it took three years then we got the R and this is the
third year of the RSX,hmmm wonder if they will get that exhaust to pass
and bring it here to the U.S. sure is a good looking ride!

I would get one fo sho.... especially if the price is only like 1 or two thousand more than the S..... if it does come out here to the states..... it would be better if it had the black interior with red stiching yum sexy... holla at you boy

When and if they come to the states I will definately buy one as a daily driver

I wouldn't trade my R in for one though.
*Note*I would only get one if they were imported in Champ White

i would be at the dealership the night a Championship White one rolled off the truck, sleep next to it and drive it off the lot 15 minutes after the first sales person get there.

RSX-R>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>DC2R IMHO

Champion white

if the RSX type R's come out here to the states i would pick one up but would trade in my four door...... do you guys think that if the RSX-R comes over here.... it will have the suede interior and also the JDM headlights...

dont get your hopes up, its highly doubtful...but im going to be optimistic and say that it's a possibility. Honda isnt stupid, they know that every RSX-R that they would bring would get sold very quickly.

Honestly I would not get it, I'd rather spend the money on the STi...
strange... I know.

if the dc5r comes over here it will have equal if not a greater reputation than the DC2Rs have...but thats only theoritical

I'd love to test drive one, but i doubt i would buy one. It would become the theft magnet that the current R is now, and the improvements over the DC2R arent really that spectacular. Id much rather purchase an s2000 or older NSX.

You guys might think I'm crazy, but, no, I don't think I would buy a DC5-R if it came over now.

If you'd asked me that last year, the answer would have been yes.

However, having owned my EP3 for a while, now, even with the Mugen suspension it doesn't come close to the resiliance of the suspenson of the DC2 ITR.

The DC5 has the same suspension as my EP3, basically, so I'm kind of spoiled by knowledge aforesaid.

I don't know how to describe what I don't like, exactly. When you go over a gater in the DC2, you know what direction you'll be headed when it comes down. When you hit the air in an EP3, you're not quite sure how you're going to have to react when you hit the ground.

:shrug:

I've probably described that entirely inadequately. LOL...

For $16,000 the EP3 Si is a great daily commuter, but I can't imagine what on earth you could do to it to make it worth the $40,000 a DC5 R would cost.

Please do not throw tomatoes at the old guy.

Now, on the other hand...a TSX R would be something I'd have to take a good look at!
