I have my doubts they'll bring the ITR over.
Why? Insurance. Insurance companies took it in the *ss with the G3 ITR. If the insurance companies don't like a car, it isn't made as it will no longer be affordable if the rates are too high.
If I ran an insurance company, I'd blacklist the ITR.

I like the re-freshed bodywork. The lights look better but they should have kept the small circles that went into the bumpers (front and rear). The raising of the redline is very positive sign! The Larger 17" wheels should have distinguished the Type-S from the base model from the beginning. The only negative I can see is the weight increased by 70 pounds. I'm sure the interior is a little nicer, but it was very good from the beginning. A bump in horsepower is always nice but should have been a bit more. Theres a chance they underestimated the horsepower a bit, like the 2004 S2000. A great value if they keep the msrp very close to where it was. Good job Acura!

I can't tell much of a difference on the exterior; that's probably because I'm not too familiar with the RSX's looks in the first place. But the changes seem to be very nice updates. 210hp and better gearings will bring it a step closer to an S.

i cant see the first set of pics...damn hosts not having sufficient bandwith for demand.
i hope the interior is significantly different, or else i might as well keep my RSX 5MT, or get a S2000, Evo, or used S4. Tho Blaze Orange Metallic sounds fun, id like to see that.
