It was previously called the Acura EL, in case you didn't know (one of which I owned for a while - fantastic little car, though overpriced for what you got).

Why not? Makes sense when Acura's other cars are gussied-up Accords. If anything, I think they're missing out on the fancy minivan and pick-up markets by not offering an ODX and RLX. That would really round out the Acura line.

Well, you can also say that with Lexus. Only recently have they used unique platforms and even in that case, most Lexuses are still a souped up Toyota.

The CSX gets canned this year...all part of the process of trying to define a line between acura and honda.

Not at all true. Very first Lexus, the 1990 LS400, was all-new and shared nothing with U.S. market Toyotas, as far as I am aware. Since then, only the ES models have shared platforms with other U.S. market Toyotas, I believe.

Lexus has RWD cars and Toyota has FWD cars; I don't know how more different they can be than that?

And the interiors and completely different. Toyota is econo-crap and Lexus is classy and luxurious.

With Honda and Acura it's a joke.

I drove the CSX Type S last year and I kid you not it drives 100% like the Civic SI, only here in Canada Acura sells this overpriced POS for 34 000$.

Nevermind the fact we pay 27 000$ for the Civic SI...
